Courses
Introduction to major components of computer system software. The course introduces fundamental concepts of computing systems, such as binary arithmetic and data representation, the Von Neumann model for processing computer programs, the operation of memory, instruction set, and machine and assembly language programming. It systematically presents the levels of transformations from machine language to assembly language to high level language. The role of such systems software components as assemblers, compilers, linkers, loaders, and operating systems is studied. The course has a strong project component.

Preservation, identification, extraction and documentation of evidence in any computing environment. This course follows a practical approach to the practice of digital forensics while presenting technical and legal matters related to forensic investigations. It introduces various technologies used in everyday computing environments along with detailed information on how the evidence contained on these devices should be analyzed.
Cyber defense, operations, cyber warfare, insider threat mitigation. This course introduces the basis to create security programs in organizations by exploring cyber defense mechanisms. The course covers offensive techniques to collect intelligence while remaining hidden in computer systems and infrastructure. It also covers defensive techniques to mitigate malware, evict adversaries from operational systems, and cryptanalysis-based intelligence techniques over encrypted communication.
Department seminar presentations by speakers from industry and academia in addition to UMass Dartmouth faculty, and CIS Master student thesis defense presentations that are scheduled during the seminar course time slot. Students are required to attend these presentations and participate in technical discussions and write a report by the end of the semester.
