SE 594 Computer Science Fundamentals I      3 credits
SE 595 Computer Science Fundamentals II      3 credits
(Prerequisite: admission to the program, ability to program and sufficient mathematics background such as calculus) SE594 and
SE595 are sequential special topics courses designed for students who have been admitted to the software engineering graduate
program but do not possess a formal background in essential computer science topics. These topics include programming
fundamentals, advanced data structures and algorithms, software design and construction, and computer systems. Emphasis will
be on programming skills and fundamentals of computer systems. At least one high-level programming language will be used
extensively in the course. (These two courses do not count toward the 36 credits required for the degree.)
