Undergraduate Symposium

The Undergraduate Student Symposium, sponsored by the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, presents student projects and performances through oral presentations, paper submissions, and poster displays.

Computer Science Major

Resources

  • University Computing Resources

    CIS students can access a variety of resources ranging from workstation computers and software to microcomputers and their applications. Software such as C++, Java, and Oracle Database Management Systems are available online. Applications such as graphic programs, authoring systems and case tools are available in the NSU microcomputer laboratories

  • Computer Information Systems Research Lab

The Computer and Computational Sciences Lab (CCS Lab) is the first research lab at NSU dedicated to undergraduate research on computer and computational sciences. The main objective of the lab is to provide designated access for students, faculty, and local information technology experts to carry out hands-on research projects in computer and computational sciences and computer information systems. The lab integrates faculty research results from different fields related to scientific computing and simulations into mini/major projects for Computer Science/Computer Information Systems undergraduate students. Students will work with faculty members and information technology experts from different centers and schools and information technology companies to apply their skills in programming, Web development, database management, and other research areas, such as ocean wave simulations, human heart modeling, interactive online courses, database management, and other areas.

The main CCS Lab consists of two Labs (Lab E and Lab D). Lab E is an experimental lab for operating systems (OS) and networking (Net) projects. Lab D is a research and development lab for both teaching and research in the areas of Web-based database (DB) applications and scientific computing (SC). Lab E has nine computers (PC platform) and computer/networking parts (motherboard, keyboard, hubs, switches, cables, connectors, etc…) for both OS and Net projects. One computer will be identified as a Master machine, eight other computers will be connected as its Nodes. Lab D has twelve networked computers with various software programs for different research projects. There will be one Unix server with Oracle DBMS and one MS SQL server for ASP applications.

Computer software programs are divided into four major categories: (a) Program languages (C++/Java/Perl…); (b) Development tools (Dreamweaver, Ultradev, Flash 5, Fireworks, Jrun, Rational Rose, etc.); (c) Simulation Tools (MatLab/Simulinks, Mathematica); (d) Application tools (MS Office 2000, Adobe Suite, etc.). For more information on the CCS Lab, call (954) 262-4983.

  • MSDN Academic Alliance Program

    The MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) is an annual membership program for technical departments in the area of Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, and Information Technology. As a member, a department receives an MSDNAA subscription that includes Microsoft software (http://microweb.nova.edu).
