Computer Science Curriculum |
The curriculum focused on development of programming languages and system architecture, with an emphasis on challenging final projects. The first course in assembler required a project developed in IBM 370 assembler code that was itself an assembler. One of my test program printed biorhythm charts. The PL/1 class project was an interpreter of PL/1 structure programming language extensions. The capstone computer project was a comprehensive operating system simulator developed in assembler language. It included simulation of virtual memory management, multiprocessing and multitasking. |

I enrolled in German conversation and composition following comprehensive tests for German 1 through 4. |
