Bachelor Program in Computer Science and Technology for International Students

Discipline: Engineering       Major Code: 080901

1. Introduction

This major was founded in 1987, which is one of the earliest computer science majors in China. In 2008, it was established as a featured specialty of Jiangsu Province. In 2010, the discipline was authorized to offer master degree program in computer science and technology. In 2011, 2014 and 2018, it was funded by the Priority Academic Program Development of Jiangsu Higher Education Institutions for three consecutive phases. In 2012, specialty of the Meteorological Bureau was established. At the same year, it was selected as the Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program of Jiangsu Province, and was approved as a key specialty of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Jiangsu Province. In 2017, it was awarded grade B in the Fourth Round of Subject Evaluation by the Ministry of Education. In May of 2017, it entered the top 1% of the ESI international subject ranking. In 2019, it was selected as a provincial and national “First-Class Major”.

4. Introduction to Core Courses

Fundamental Courses

Computer Networks: This course provides an introduction to computer networks, with a special focus on the Internet architecture and protocols. Topics include layered network architectures, addressing, naming, forwarding, routing, communication reliability, the client-server model, web and email protocols.

Discrete Mathematics: The purpose of this course is to understand and use (abstract) discrete structures that are backbones of computer science. In particular, this class is meant to introduce logic, proofs, sets, relations, functions, counting, and probability, with an emphasis on applications in computer science.

Operating Systems: This course will introduce the core concepts of operating systems, such as processes and threads, scheduling, synchronization, memory management, file systems, input and output device management and security. The goal of the programming assignments is to give students some exposure to operating system code.

Electronic Technology FundamentalsThis course will give an introduction to basics of electronics and electricity. In this course students will learn the fundamental concepts of voltage, current, resistance, and power. Students will also be introduced to circuit board building methods. This course will also teach how to use the digital multimeter, so students can measure the actual voltage and current in the circuits.

Data Structures & AlgorithmData Structures and Algorithms (or DSA) is the most important course of any Computer Science program. In this course, we will deal with different data structures, their applications, running times, etc.

Principles of Computer OrganizationIt examines the underlying components and the basic organizing principles in the construction of computer systems. It includes an examination of transistors and simple logic circuits, micro-processor components, microcode, machine language, assembly language, operating systems, and a variety of machine architectures.

Core Courses

Compiler Theory: This course explores the principles, algorithms, and data structures involved in the design and construction of compilers. Topics include finite-state machines, lexical analysis, context-free grammars and other parsing techniques, symbol tables and an introduction to intermediate code generation.

Image Processing: This course is an introduction to image processing and image analysis techniques and concepts. Areas examined include: imaging sensors and their principles; image representation and storage, coding and compression techniques, lossy versus lossless; techniques for noise reduction.

Software EngineeringSoftware engineering is a discipline that allows us to apply engineering and computer science concepts in the development and maintenance of reliable, usable, and dependable software. The course is designed to present software engineering concepts and principles in parallel with the software development life cycle.

Embedded System DesignIn this class, the fundamentals of embedded system hardware and firmware design will be explored. Learning may be supplemented with periodic guest lectures by embedded systems engineers from industry. Depending on the interests of the students, other topics may be covered.

WEB Programming DesignThis course is designed to provide the student with foundational programming knowledge and skills for application development on the Internet. The student will learn to plan, design, construct, and integrate basic server-side components of modern web applications including databases and scripts.

 

5. Practice

Internship, Graduation Design (Thesis), Software Testing Project Training.

 

6. Graduation Requirement

Students shall pass sufficient courses in the program to get no less than 124 credits, pass HSK Level 4 (or above) and pass the Graduation Design (Thesis) defense.
