CSIS 4952 Capstone Internship in Computer Information Systems (3 credits) This course is one way to satisfy the capstone requirement for Computer Information Systems major for students who are not already employed. It can be taken in the last semester of their graduation. It constitutes a work experience for 16 weeks in the area of Computer Information Systems. Consult academic division for specific details and requirements. Prerequisites: Senior standing, cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, major GPA of 3.0, written internship offer, approval of the job description by the internship instructor, and permission of academic director. CSIS 4953 Internship in Computer Science (3 credits) Computer Science majors who are not already employed can use this course to satisfy capstone requirement. It can be taken senior year of their graduation preferably in the last semester of their graduation. An Internship constitutes a relevant work experience for 16 weeks based on a project with specific goals agreed on by the work supervisor, student and the instructor before enrolling in this course. The project should cover concepts and skills learned in more than one upper division Computer Science course and should be approved by Computer Science chair. Prerequisites: Senior standing, cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, major GPA of 3.0, written internship offer, approval of the job description by the internship instructor, and permission of academic director. CVS—CVS-Cardiovascular Sonography CVS 3000 Introduction to Cardiovascular Sonography Instruments (3 credits) This course is designed to introduce the students to the equipment used in cardiovascular ultrasound. The course will, therefore, be primarily taught in the ultrasound training laboratory in small groups, with supplemental online content and challenge-based learning assignments. The focus of the course will be to lead the students toward proficiency and competency in using all the tools available on the ultrasound equipment for the production of quality images, as well as proper ergonomics, patient handling, and care of the equipment. This course is the foundation for all the following core courses. CVS 3001 Correlative Imaging & Anatomy (4 credits) This course will meet twice a week for a nominal 16- week semester. The course will consist of dynamic guided exercises in the classroom and computer lab, combined with instructor-led case study and image analysis. The course will teach the student detailed normal anatomy in various planes used during all of the common imaging examinations of ultrasound and other medical imaging modalities. Information will weighted towards normal structures which are sonographically visible. Structures will be described according to relative location, proportionality, sonographic characteristics, and appearance under other imaging modalities. Anatomy will be identified in both gross-anatomy and cross-sectional imaging modes. Anatomic correlation subject areas will include; intracranial, cervical, thoracic, cardiac, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Imaging modalities will include; Sonography, MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine, PET scanning, Plain film Radiography and Angiography. Emphasis will be placed on teaching the students to identify normal cross sectional anatomy based on the characteristics of each imaging modality, the position of other relative anatomy (anatomical landmarks), proportionality of size and correlation with other imaging modalities. CVS 3010 Adult Echocardiography I (3 credits) This course will provide an introduction to techniques, measurements, and normal function of the adult heart as evaluated with ultrasound. It will have a strong hands-on
