The Graphics, Gaming &
Simulation specialization of
Computer Science Technology is
designed to prepare students
for entry into the world of
graphics programming. Graphics
and simulation is used in
several segments of
Information Technology,
including Education and
Training, Aerospace and
Defense, and Gaming.

The curriculum for this
specialization begins at a
more advanced level than other
curricula of Computer Science
Technology. Prerequisites for
entry into this curriculum
include College Algebra and
College Trigonometry.

Graphics, gaming and
simulation programmers tend to
push hardware and software to
its limits. An introduction to
Assembler is included in this
curriculum, but C++ is the
primary programming language.
After mastering the
fundamentals of C++, the
student moves into advanced
applications of C++ in
animation programming,
multi-user interface
programming, advanced
mathematical applications, and
artificial intelligence. Tools
such as Open GL and DirectX
are included in this
curriculum.

This degree plan ends with a
Comprehensive Software
Project, in which the student
designs and develops a
portfolio of Graphics, Gaming
and Simulation programming to
present to potential
employers.

Client Server
Specialization...A
specialization in Computer
Science Technology at Texas
State Technical College.
The maturing of network
technology during the last
decade of the 20th century has
made possible the distribution
of data and computing over a
variety of hardware and
software platforms.
User-friendly graphical
interfaces running on a client
system can access data that is
available to multiple users
across a network. A growing
number of businesses and
organizations are using the
Internet to interact with
their customers and clients.

The curriculum for this
specialization begins with
fundamental programming and
database concepts, and
features both the Oracle and
the Microsoft SQL Server
environments. Students learn
to install and administer
Oracle and Microsoft databases
running in a Windows server
environment. Programming
languages covered include C++,
Visual Basic, and Java.
Deployment of information
using Internet technology is
covered in the Advanced Visual
Basic and Advanced Java
courses.

Unix C++ Specialization...A
specialization in Computer
Science Technology at Texas
State Technical College.

Unix is a popular multi-user
operating system used by a
significant portion of the
Information Technology (IT)
community. C++ is the language
used most often by IT
professionals working in a
Unix environment. Other
languages, such as Java, are
also used in the Unix
environment.

The curriculum for this
specialization begins with
fundamental programming
concepts and progresses to
intermediate and advanced
courses in Unix, C++, and
Java. Students will learn to
install and configure a Unix
installation as well as a
Linux installation. Students
will learn to create and
execute programs written in
C++ or Java on Unix and Linux
systems.

Oracle Application Developer
Specialization...A
specialization in Computer
Science Technology at Texas
State Technical College.

The Oracle Application
Developer Certificate is a
four-semester program for
developing skills in
development of database
applications. The curriculum
is intense and progresses into
advanced topics rapidly.
Emphasis is on using Oracle
databases. Programming tools
such as Visual Basic, C++, and
Java are taught at the
introductory and advanced
levels. Development of
database applications for web
implementation is included. A
student who already has a
degree in a different field
should consider this
certificate program as a means
of gaining technical skills
for employment in the computer
science field.
