my apologies
Sorry for not updating for so long…. Fall break was good, went home, hung out with friends, got a haircut and what not… a good relaxing weekend before the craziest week of school…
Upon returning from fall break, i have been non stop busy with projects and homework… Had to pull an all nighter and several late nights… but needless to say, everything got done on time and turned in…
this week is still pretty busy, i have 2 tests and a pretty lengthy homework assignment…
Course requests start tomorrow… im going to talk to the advisor tomorrow to make sure im on the right track as far as taking classes and planning out my senior year…. Some pretty awesome technical electives that i plan on taking like:
Computer and Network Security Fundamentals
Introduction to fundamental security principles and real-world applications of Internet and computer security. Topics covered in the course include legal and privacy issues, risk analysis, attack and intrusion detection concepts, system log analysis, intrusion detection and packet filtering techniques, computer security models, computer forensics, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Network Application Design
Application program interface and network transport services including User Datagram Protocol and Transmission Control Protocol from the Internet protocol suite. Client-server organization and design of synchronous, asynchronous, and multithreaded client and server applications. Design, implementation, and testing techniques to improve robustness and performance. Design and implementation of servers and clients for standard Internet application protocols.
Wireless Networks and Mobile Systems
Multidisciplinary, project-oriented design course that considers aspects of wireless and mobile systems. Including wireless networks and link protocols, mobile networking including support for the Internet Protocol suite, mobile middleware, and mobile applications. Students complete multiple experiments and design projects.
Large-Scale Software Development for Engineering Systems
Large-scale software implementations of the hierarchy of engineering analysis, design, and decision evaluation. Computer-aided engineering programs with state-of-the-art computer tools and methods. Operator overloading, dynamic polymorphism, graphical user interfaces, generic programming, dynamic link libraries, and multiple threads.
Real-Time Systems
Introduction to real-time systems, real-time scheduling including multiprocessor scheduling, real-time operating systems (kernels), real-time communication, real-time programming languages, reliability and fault-tolerance, and real-time system requirements and design methods. Design, analysis, and implementation of real-time kernel mechanisms and real-time applications using kernels such as Linux and programming languages such as C (with POSIX primitives) and Ada 95.
So it should be an interesting and fun senior year…
Well i am going to go get some sleep, since this is the first night i can actually get some quality sleep in…
Later,
J!
