The second part of the class is on the design and implementation of an operating system with focus on process, memory virtualization, and concurrency.

ECE 382V Formal Methods in Distributed Systems
This course gives an introduction to the use of formal methods within the software design process. Specifically, this class will cover the application of models to distributed and concurrent systems. Modern software systems are commonly highly distributed, and this added sophistication further complicates software design. The rigor offered by formal methods aims to make the process more precise.

ECE 382V Advanced Programming Tools
Programming is difficult - some of the problem developers face include.

• How can a project be structured so that developers can work on it concurrently?
• How can the building of a project be automated?
• How can a program be written to make it portable?
• How can a program be prototyped efficiently?
• How can a program be tested and debugged efficiently?
• How can the performance of a program be increased?

Using the right tools can solve these problems. Examples include tools for version control, documentation, program building and configuration, automatic testing, program analysis, and integrated development.

Our approach will be to introduce a specific problem, show how a tool can solve the problem, and then develop the technical principles underlying the tool. We will have written homework problems as well as coding exercises for each concept. The class will have a major design project that will begin at the start of the term. Use of the tools will be a required part of the project. We will use open-source tools to illustrate these concepts. The specific tool stack is described in the lectures section of this document. I selected these tools based on my experience at Google; they also power many state-of-the-art commercial projects.

The course also offers lectures on "trends" in middleware, including how middleware addresses challenges related to mobile computing, sensor networks, real-time computing, "green computing," etc.

ECE 382 Algorithmic Foundations for Software Systems
We will begin by reviewing foundations of discrete mathematics. We will then study measuring program performance using the big-O notation. Following this, we will study fundamental data structures and their associated algorithms; specifically, we will cover lists, arrays, queues, stacks, hash tables, sets, binary trees, and graphs. We will then focus on general algorithm design principles, such as greedy approaches and dynamic programming. Our last topic will be matrix algorithms. The principle focus of the lectures will be on theoretical aspects, in the style of the CLRS Algorithms text listed below. There will also be a number of programming assignments that will require implementing and testing algorithms. In addition, there will be a team project that either evaluates some textbook algorithm(s) in real-world settings, or explores how to specialize and enhance some textbook algorithm(s) under specific conditions.

ECE 381V Introduction to Optimization
This course will serve as an introduction to modeling, applications and algorithms of discrete and continuous optimization. The students will learn how to model the real world within the paradigms of linear programming, mixed integer linear programming, and more general convex optimization. We will emphasize interesting applications where these classes have had impact in industry, including applications in data mining and machine learning (no prior knowledge of Machine Learning is required).

ECE 379K Engineering Dynamic Program Analysis
Dynamic analysis is commonly used to detect errors in software, including memory errors, concurrency errors (e.g., data races), performance issues, etc. Although valuable, dynamic analysis can be costly because the program execution needs to be (continuously) monitored to collect necessary data for the analysis. Additionally, naively engineered dynamic analysis can interfere with the program being analyzed, which can impact the conclusions of the analysis. The main goal for this course is to provide motivation for various dynamic analysis techniques, introduce popular tools that are frequently used to implement an efficient and effective dynamic analysis, and provide hands-on experience in developing dynamic analysis techniques.

ECE 382V: Advanced Algorithms
This course introduces students to advanced techniques for the design and analysis of algorithms. It is intended to be a follow-up to the course “Algorithmic Foundations for Software Systems,” students must be comfortable with the topics covered in that course. The topics and applications tentatively planned to cover include: approximation algorithms (set cover, steiner tree and TSP, multiway cut, knapsack, minimum makespan scheduling), lattice-theoretic algorithms, LP-Based algorithms (LP Duality, set cover via dual fitting, LP rounding techniques, facility location), randomized algorithms (min-cut, maximal independent set, leader election, graph coloring) and game theory.

ECE 379K: Programming Paradigms
There are hundreds of programming languages out there and many of them bring several unique language features that should help developers to write correct software faster. This course will study several programming languages (including C, C++, Java, OCaml, etc.) and some of the unique features that are introduced to increase developers’ productivity. The course will also explore how software engineering practices differ across languages and the set of design patterns for each language. Moreover, unique language features have impact on how developers organize, write, test, and analyze code; we will introduce and discuss several of these aspects.

The communication that happens between our award-winning professors and students and also student to student leads to worthwhile and lucrative relationships that will last throughout your career.

The following explanation is provided to clarify the unique qualities of a master’s in software engineering in comparison to a master’s in computer science. Software engineering can be viewed as a subdiscipline of computer-science, a discipline that is more tactical rather than theoretical in nature. Many computer science graduates these days work in positions that could easily be labeled "software engineer" though the training is different. As software engineers, we take a look at the system, from an engineering perspective. We look at the lifecycle of that system, from requirements elicitation, working with stakeholders, through design, architecture, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Along the way we use or integrate all kinds of tools and skills from computer science, but the curriculum constantly revisits the engineering mindset. That mindset is skilled and ready to analyze the framing of software engineering challenges and create solutions through constructing, testing and maintaining the entire system.
