ITWS Concentration: Web Technologies
(Science)
For those entering the program Fall 2011 semester & beyond
Contact Person: Sibel Adali
Description:
The Web Technologies concentration provides students with the skills necessary to plan, build and assess effective and efficient web-based information systems. By focusing on the technical aspects of building these web-based systems, it is an alternative to other concentrations and degree programs that focus instead on development of web content.
Students in the Web Technologies concentration develop expertise in systems-level and applications-level programming concepts through coursework in database systems, operating systems and networking programming.
Additional coursework on software design focuses on large-scale systems modeling and development. Collectively, this coursework provides a strong background for web-based systems development. To complete the concentration, students develop expertise in communicating information effectively with the help of courses in visual communication, usability and cognitive science.
Students who complete the Web Technologies concentration are well-prepared for a career in the technical branch of a small or large company with responsibility for development and operation of sophisticated web-based systems.
