- CAC 220: Storage and Analysis of Data – An introduction to database development 还有大数据. 前ics will include sql databases, database programming, big data storage, and data analytics.
- 编程语言-三种编程范式的考试. The course requires students to learn three different languages and how to determine the best language for a given problem.
- CAC 430: Human Computer Interaction and Software Engineering – An exploration of ways to improve the user experience. 学生将研究现有的接口, 写分析, 并设计自己需要使用的界面设计文档.
- CAC 470:高级顶点-应用计算机科学的高级顶点经验. 在团队中工作, students will propose and implement a project by moving through each phase of the software development process.
学生将根据所选的方向选修额外的课程:
- 计算机工程: 计算机工程轨道加深学生对电子电路的理解. 本课程为学生准备嵌入式系统和物联网的工作. Students will take additional math courses as well as specialized applied computer science courses. 必修课程包括:微积分I, 微积分二世, 线性代数, 计算机体系结构与物联网, 电路, 和机器人.
- 软件工程: 软件工程课程加强学生的编程和软件设计技能. Additional math courses are required to strengthen students’ problem solving abilities and their theoretical knowledge. 该课程提高了软件设计、实现和测试技能. 必修课程包括微积分I, 微积分二世, 离散数学, 软件设计, 系统及网络安全, 还有一门应用计算机科学选修课.
- 创意媒体操作: The Creative Media Manipulation Track encourages students to apply their computer science foundation to the arts. Students will take a variety of arts courses in order to build a better understanding of space, 运动, 电影, 和设计. 必修课程包括两门媒体与电影研究课程, 两门艺术课程, 及两门戏剧课程.
- 行业跟踪: 工业轨道提供计算机科学的基础, 并为学生提供了将专业应用于其他领域的空间. 如果选择此轨道, it is highly recommended that students choose a minor to which students will apply the concepts learned in the applied computer science program. Required courses include: Statistics OR Calculus I, Art: 2D design, and four Applied CS electives.

本科研究思路
你的想法会得到强烈的鼓励和支持, 但如果你需要一个想法, 以下是一些当前的工作和/或想法:
- Creating a drag and drop programming language to teach elementary students computational thinking while strengthening math and/or reading skills.
- 在2018-2019学年，应用计算机科学辅修，丽贝卡·韦斯顿和博士. Wagner worked collaboratively on a Vail Fellowship to create a math programming game for first and second grade students.
- 应用计算机科学和数学双学位的李铉(音)目前正在从事这个项目. He has expanded the block programming language and will be conducting a user study in Spring 2021.
- 2020-2021 seniors have been invited to develop a tool to assist developers in verifying that accessibility concerns are addressed during the design and development process.
- Creating a Tactile Input Modality: This work requires the use of Arduinos and Raspberry Pis to enable students with visual impairments to have an alternate input modality when programming with block languages. 点击 在这里查看以前的工作.
- 应用计算机科学辅修Roger Wang对这一课题进行了进一步的研究. 他的研究很受欢迎. 他在ACM东南中部发表演讲，被授予2个奖项 nd参加ACM SIGCSE 2019学生研究竞赛, 并在ACM东南2019年会议上发表了一篇论文(17).95%合格率).
- Creating a Vocal User Interface: T在这里 has been substantial work on creating vocal user interfaces to interact with block programming, 但仍有许多工作要做. 看看 http://myna.cs.ua.edu.
- Evaluating a Vocal User Interface: T在这里 are numerous empirical methods for evaluating graphical user interfaces, 但是目前还没有评估语音用户界面的经验方法. 这项工作将是建立这些评价方法的基础.
- Creating a drag and drop programming language to teach elementary students computational thinking while strengthening math and/or reading skills.
