CMPT 400	CMPT 400 Directed Studies in Computing Science Course Credits: 1, 3 Students are required to produce an outline of the topic studied in consultation with the instructor. A course of reading and/or experimentation is pursued according to the approved outline. Assessment may be via examination and/or a final written report. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science. NB: This course with the appropriate choice of topics can be used as a preparation for the senior thesis (CMPT 410) or senior project (CMPT 420). This course can only be taken with the consent of the academic computing coordinator.
CMPT 401	CMPT 401 Special Topics in Computing Science Course Credits: 3 A study of special topics or issues in computing science that are not considered in-depth in other courses. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's permission. NB: Not offered every year. Course may be repeated.
CMPT 409	CMPT 409 Thesis Preparation Course Credits: 1 Students are required to choose a topic for their senior thesis (CMPT 410 or 411) in consultation with an instructor. Selected readings and references pertinent to the topic are assigned. A final written report is presented, consisting of a detailed thesis proposal and a literature review. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's consent. NB: A student is allowed credit for only one of CMPT 409 or 419.
CMPT 410	CMPT 410 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 2 Students research a chosen area of computing science and provide a final written report. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 409, a related directed study in preparation, or instructor's consent. NB: Normally 2 sem. hrs. are assigned unless prior arrangement is made with the department chair and registrar.
CMPT 411	CMPT 411 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 3 Students research a chosen area of computing science and provide a final written report. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 409, a related directed study in preparation, or instructor's consent. NB: Normally 2 sem. hrs. are assigned for a senior thesis unless prior arrangement is made with the department chair and registrar.
CMPT 419	CMPT 419 Project Preparation Course Credits: 1 Students are required to choose a topic for their senior group project (CMPT 420 or 421) in consultation with the instructor. Selected readings and references pertinent to the topic are assigned. A final written report (software requirements document) is produced giving a detailed specification of the proposed software project. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's consent. NB: A student is allowed credit for only one of CMPT 409 or 419.
CMPT 420	CMPT 420 Special Topics - Senior Collaborative Project Course Credits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Students work on a major collaborative software project in a chosen area of computing science and provide a final report and presentation. At least two, and normally not more than five people, work as a team to design, code, debug, test, and document the software. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 419, a related directed study, or instructor's consent
CMPT 461	CMPT 461 Immersive Computing Course Credits: 3 This course introduces theories, techniques, and applications of immersive computing and related technologies. Students will be introduced to advanced 3D modeling/animation and virtual environment building techniques. In a semester-long project, students will develop their projects using an immersive framework to design, build, and evaluate immersive virtual environments. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 166, 231 (3,0)
CMPT 470	CMPT 470 Introduction to Bioinformatics Course Credits: 3 An overview of the interdisciplinary science of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics which applies the tools of information technology (computer hardware and software) to analyze biological data such as gene or protein sequences. This course examines the theory of bioinformatics as well as its practical application to biological problems using approaches such as BLAST searches, phylogenetics, and protein structure function analysis. Cross-listed: BIOT 470 or BIOL 470 Prerequisite(s): CMPT 150, 166, and 231. (3-0)
