Solving Problems with Algorithms and AI
ITCS 6114 & 8114
Our graduate learners bring strong skills in algorithm design, data structures, and computational problem-solving. They are capable of analyzing complex challenges, developing efficient solutions, and applying modern approaches—including AI and big data techniques—to real-world problems. Companies can expect motivated learners who can deliver computational thinking-oriented insights, prototypes, and optimized solutions to support decision-making and innovation.
Big Data Analysis
ITCS 3190
Students in this course bring a solid foundation in programming, databases, data structures, distributed file systems, and distributed data processing, and are building applied skills in cloud computing and big data analysis. They can support company projects by designing and implementing data pipelines, processing and analyzing large datasets, and creating dashboards or reports that generate actionable insights. Working in teams, students apply cloud based tools and frameworks to develop practical, innovative solutions to real-world data challenges
Database Design and Prototype Development
ITCS 6160 & 8160
The project aims to enhance the efficiency of the service application process by transitioning from a manual to a digital system. Currently, the process involves cumbersome paperwork and manual data entry, leading to delays, inconsistencies and potential errors negatively impacting community members seeking services. The goal is to create a seamless digital workflow that automates data collection and integrates it directly into the company's Client Management System (CMS). This will not only reduce processing time but also improve data accuracy and accessibility. The project will involve analyzing the current process, designing a digital form for data collection, and developing a method to automatically input this data into the CMS. By digitizing the application process, the company can improve service delivery and operational efficiency.
Database Design and Implementation

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to be your student consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program/course will explore the modeling, programming, and implementation of database systems. The course mainly focuses on relational database systems. Topics include (1) modeling: conceptual data modeling, ER diagram, relational data model, schema design, normalization, and refinement; (2) programming: relational algebra and calculus, SQL, constraints, triggers, views; (3) implementation: data storage, indexing, query execution, query optimization, and transaction management.
