Courses Taught
- This advanced course builds upon the design, implementation, testing, and manipulation concepts and techniques learned in CIS 395. The course starts with a review of the relational model, entity relational diagrams, normalization, and basic SQL. Database administration topics presented include security, back-up and recovery. Advanced topics in design techniques include indexing structures and data storage. Advanced implementation topics include SQL programming, store procedure and triggers. Advanced manipulation topics include transaction processing concurrency control.
Prerequisite: CIS 395 or departmental approval
Course Syllabus - This course will introduce students to linear and non-linear data structures, their use and implementation, algorithms, and software engineering techniques. Topics will include: stacks, queues, lined lists, has tables, trees, graphs, searching and sorting techniques. Asymptotic analysis of algorithms and data structures will also be discussed.
Prerequisites: [CSC 211 and CSC 231] or departmental approval - This course introduces students to the fundamentals of multimedia production. In a hands-on class, students will learn the essentials of program design and authoring software in an integrated computer environment. Students will learn how to combine graphics, audio and text to create programs for industrial and educational applications.

Research and Projects
- Using Educational Robotics to Improve Student Retention and Recruitment in STEM Education
The Borough of Manhattan Community College and Lehman College are collaborating on this project which is improving student retention in STEM disciplines by using educational robotics to teach critical thinking, problem solving, algorithm development and scientific reasoning skills.Intellectual Merit: This project is adopting existing curriculum materials in robotics and adapting them to increase the retention of undergraduate computing and physics students. It is using hands-on, student-centered, and goal-oriented learning to motivate, retain, and attract STEM students.Broader Impacts: This project is targeting traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM education and establishing articulation paths between local two- and four-year institutions. It is also using faculty workshops to build a community of STEM educators interested in educational robotics.
