Fall 08:
Spring 2008:
Meets: MW 4:20 - 5:35, EN 128
Bulletin description: Introduction to computer graphics algorithm design and implementation involving considerable actual computer graphics experience. Topics include: point-plotting and line-drawing techniques, two-dimensional curve fitting, two- and three-dimensional graphics, clipping, windowing, hidden line removal, modeling, input-output devices, and other topics as future trends dictate.
Prerequisites: Proficiency in at least one high level computing language.
COEN 183 Operating Systems and Networks
Meets: MW 3:00 - 3:50, CU 114; F 3 - 4:50, CU 310
Bulletin description: Introduces the fundamental concepts of operating systems together with the basics of networking and communications including: memory management, scheduling, concurrent processing, device management, file systems, networking, security, and system performance. Examples are drawn from legacy and modern operating systems.
Prerequisites: COEN 120, COSC 066, or COSC 154. The textbook says, "We assume that the reader is familiar with basic data structures, computer organization, and a high-level language, such as C."
