Students will submit an internal report for their project achievements. May be repeated once. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Credit: 3 semester hours.
COS 797: Residence Credit for Thesis/Professional Project. Graduate students who have already earned the maximum credits allowed for program thesis or project course may be registered for this course. Prerequisites: completion of the program thesis or project course; approval of advisor. Credit: NONE.
COS 799: Thesis. Thesis preparation, presentation, and defense. Students may register for thesis for several semesters. Upon completion of the thesis, students are given a grade of Pass (P) or Fail (F). The thesis is a published work of original research in the field of computer science. Credit: 3 semester hours.
DGE/COS 275: Game Programming Foundation I. This course introduces students to the rigorous field of interactive simulation and gaming. Students learn about the major components of modern simulations and games from both a design perspective and a technical perspective. Topics covered include: fundamentals of simulation/gaming, user interface design, human computer interaction, input/output paradigms, and an overview of simulation/game design process. Lab activities are designed to foster critical thinking and problem solving skills through the development of an understanding of the development process as well as interactive programming techniques through the creation of working interactive programs in a high level programming language.
