ICS 260 - Fundamentals of the Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Covers fundamental concepts in the design and analysis of algorithms and is geared toward non-specialists in theoretical computer science. Topics include: deterministic and randomized graph algorithms, fundamental algorithmic techniques like divide-and-conquer strategies and dynamic programming, and NP-completeness.

ICS 261 - Data Structures
An in-depth treatment of data structures and their associated management algorithms including resource complexity analysis.

Auditing:
ICS 142 - Compilers and Interpreters
Introduction to the theory of programming language processors covering lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, intermediate representations, code generation, optimization, interpretation, and run-time support.

Human 21B - English Listening and Speaking
Humanities 21 focuses on the pronunciation, intonation, stress and vocabulary of English. Special emphasis is also given to listening skills and oral presentations. The course is designed to help non-native speakers communicate more effectively in an American university setting.

ICS 211 - Advanced Compiler Construction
Advanced study of programming language implementation techniques: optimizations such as common sub-expression elimination, register allocation, and instruction scheduling. Implementation of language features such as type-directed dispatch, garbage collection, dynamic linking, and just-in-time code generation.

Class project: Developing a compiler for a simplified version of Pascal language with SSA-based optimizations.

ICS 213 - Software for Embedded Systems
Embedded computing elements, device interfaces, time-critical IO handling. Embedded software design under size, performance, and reliability constraints. Software timing and functional validation. Programming methods and compilation for embeddable software. Embedded runtime systems. Case studies of real-time software systems.
