Independent Studies
Independent study courses in the Computer Science program are student guided study which are used:
We often see interesting projects, for example:
Kenneth May and Seth Kress, Enhancement of DARS (Spring 2014, advsior: Dr. Salem)
This research project aims to create an simulation environment that allows the security aspect of ad hoc networks to be analyzed more closely by implementing AODV.
- Faculty and students explore subjects not covered by regular curricular;
- Research topics appeal to both faculty and students;

CS 525 Software Testing in Spring 2014
CS 525 Software Testing & Quality Assurance (Wednesday 6:20-8:50pm) was on the edge of being cancelled because of low enrolment, but we have been making an argument to keep it. If anyone is still looking for an elective computer science course, please consider this course for following reasons:
- We may not be able to offer it again in two years;
- This is an important and pragmatic subject, especially for experienced programmers;
- The instructor has extensive experiences in software engineering.
