This is an introductory course on system administration and maintenance.  Concepts to be included in the course are the following:  Administration of Operating Systems, networks, software, file systems, servers, web and database systems, and System documentation, policies, and procedures. Through lectures and laboratory activities, at the end of this course, the students can differentiate the commonly used Operating Systems, perform installation of the Linux software as a virtual OS, and perform fundamental to intermediate system administration and maintenance tasks on the Linux platform, and configuration of a network and network services.

This course is designed to give an introductory knowledge to conduct a systematic investigation of a problem, which focuses on organizational processes that can be solved using Computing.  The students will gain an overview of research processes, design, ethics, methodologies, theories, frameworks and techniques aligned with Information Systems (IS) track.  Further, the course will also introduce procedures and techniques on evaluation and assessment of published scholarly works in the field of computing as well as data management and analysis informed by commonly used statistical tools that will develop student’s ability to become more effective research and development computing professionals.  At the end of each grading period, the students present a comprehensive literature review, extracting insights along with the phases of research.

This course gives emphasis on the practical application of quantitative reasoning and data analysis.  The core topics include descriptive measures, measures of association, sampling and sample size estimation, general linear models and non-linear models, simple linear regression, and other basic mathematical tools used for decision-making. At the end of the course, students will complete a mini data analytics project where they collect, clean, and visually explore an IT dataset, apply correlation and simple regression, and present data-driven recommendations via a technical report and oral presentation.

This course is an introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming methodology. The course allows the student to learn and apply the basic language syntax and principles of object-oriented programming to solve computational problems, adhering to the standards and guidelines of documentation using the Java programming language. Topics include program structure, conditional and iterative programming, methods, arrays, object classes, and UML class diagrams. It further discusses the concepts and characteristics of object-oriented technology (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction). The student is expected to develop a console-based management system integrating the concepts and principles of object-oriented programming.

Further, students will have to present and defend a concept paper of their proposed capstone project in front of evaluators.

The course is an introduction to concepts and techniques in Robotics using Arduino Technology. Topics covered include electricity and electronics, analog and digital signals, basic test instruments, Arduino for robotics, components assembly, sensors, and programming. Upon course completion, one major learning output will be developed, a type of robot explorer capable of following given tracks.

This course deals with how to make websites that serve “dynamic content” based on returning or updating results in a database. The course allows the student to learn and apply PHP to handle the main work on a webserver; MySQL to manage data; and JavaScript to create a highly dynamic and seamless user experience. To complete the course, students are required to create a Dynamic Portfolio Website built with PHP that displays a person’s information—such as About, Skills, Projects, and Educational Background—and includes a dashboard for creating, updating, and deleting content.

This course is the culmination of the accumulated educational experiences and trainings of the students at CCS in a single original research project of their choice, subject to approval and supervision of a faculty mentor. A final course that caps three years of study in form of a capstone relatively topics parallel with the Research cum Extension priorities of the department and project agendas indicated in the CMO as Information Technology Major. To complete the course, the students are required to present/defend the full-blown capstone project in a form of two oral examinations, the Pre and Final Oral Defense.

This course introduces information assurance and security and its fundamentals. This course focuses on the introduction to information security and assurance; securing the seven domains of the IT infrastructure from risks and threats; business contingency planning, response, and recovery; and securing software systems. This culminates to a project that evaluates the current security of an existing system and reinforcing its information security.

This course covers the design, implementation and testing of web-based applications and social software, and the incorporation of a variety of digital media into these applications. Students are exposed to a range of web technologies, both client-side and server-side. This course will introduce basic concepts in programming and designing websites to develop interactive applications, content publishing and social services. This course will supply learning regarding necessary scripting technologies on the web, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the use of a content management system to develop a website application. Students who successfully complete this course will have the ability to design and develop a blogging website application.
