COSC 4715 Course Description

Some of the greatest advances in computer science – and in science and technology in general – are the result of explorations spanning computer science and other disciplines. In this course, students will explore the intersection between computer science and other disciplines. Within computer science, we will use computer security as a central lens because computer security, with its both adversarial and defensive elements, creates unique tensions for consideration. Through both instructional-guided study and self-study, students will explore foundational and cutting-end results from the social sciences and other disciplines and then explore the relationship between those results and past, current, and possible future directions in computer science. Throughout the course, students will produce writings reflecting their findings and offering directions for consideration for future computer scientists as well as future innovators in other disciplines.
