Basic concepts in programming, and introduction to the object paradigm. The course introduces the concept of the object paradigm and teaches how to design and implement simple programs in an object-oriented language. The course also covers the basics of how to use a computer and basic software tools, including libraries of components, in the process of developing programs.

Designed to provide students with a solid background in data mining and knowledge discovery concepts, tools, and methodology, as well as their applicability to real world problems. A variety of data mining techniques will be explored including memory-based reasoning, cluster detection, classification, neural networks, and finding understandable knowledge in large sets of real world examples. Some related topics such as web and multimedia mining will be discussed. Students will gain hands-on experience in data mining techniques using various data mining software packages and tools.

Theory and principles for constructing usable software systems. Cognitive and effective aspects of users. The impact of user characteristics on design decisions. The construction and evaluation of the user interface. Sensory and perceptual aspects of interfaces, task structure, input modalities, screen layout, and user documentation. Individual concerns for systems such as personal productivity tools, real-time control systems, instructional software, and games.

Principles, methodologies, and techniques in designing software architecture. The course introduces the fundamental elements of software systems in the context of the design process. Architectural patterns, design patterns, and software frameworks are covered in depth. How to document design work to an acceptable standard is also covered.
