RESEARCH AND WRITING IN CS & MATHEMATICS (CS3050)

This course addresses writing in a professional context for both Computer Science and Mathematics. Students will learn to write technical material aimed at professionals, to engage in peer review and critique (including writing a reviewing report directed to the author) and appropriate styles of writing for different audiences (e.g. children, the general public, an evaluator, professional colleagues). Students will explore quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, as well as how to design, and report on, different types of studies, including observational studies, scientific experiments, usability studies and many others. Along the way, they will learn to write in mark-up language (such as LaTeX or other) appropriate to the context.

WEB APPLICATIONS (CS3051)

The web applications world has been going through many transformations in recent years. Originally conceived as a vehicle for delivering documents, it is now being used as a platform for sophisticated interactive applications, taking the place of traditional desktop ones. Web-based applications offer numerous advantages, such as instant access, automatic upgrades, and opportunities for collaboration on a massive scale. However, creating Web applications requires different approaches than traditional applications and involves the integration of numerous technologies on both the client and the server sides. In this course, we will cover technologies such as HTML, CSS and frameworks, JavaScript, VueJS and Node.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (CS3053)

In this course we will follow the Agile approach to software engineering. The course will use a SaaS project-oriented approach in order to teach key methodologies such as Behavior and Test Driven Development, Pair Programming, Design Patterns, Tools for Automation, Continuous Integration and others. Among technologies which will be learned are: git, github, linux, ruby, rails and various gems. Attending CS3051 and CS1050 before taking this course is recommended.

DATABASE APPLICATIONS (CS3068)

Introduces databases from the programmer's perspective. IT and CS students have common lectures but different projects. IT students learn the fundamentals of database design, SQL, and how to integrate a database into applications. CS students learn the fundamentals of database design, application integration, query motors, and space management.

INTERNSHIP (CS3098)

An Internship can replace one elective from the ICT curriculum. It may be done in France or elsewhere. Internships may be taken for 1 or 4 credits. Students may do more than one internship, but internship credit cannot cumulatively total more than 4 credits.
