Is the Core 4xx Senior Seminar Integrative Requirement still met by study abroad?
No, See the catalog. As of Fall 2006, you still have to take Core 4xx SIR. Refer to your catalog for information about these requirements.
In what areas of technology do you specialize?
I primarily specialize in Networking Security, C++ Programing and other programming languages (COBOL, RPG, FORTRAN, C, LISP, SIMAN, etc.), Computer Forensics, Server Side Development, Computer Hardware, Corporate Security - Macro and Micro, and TCP/IP Networking.
Can you help me with Internships and Career Decisions?
Absolutely. I have a variety of contacts in the region that can lead to internships in networking and programming. I would also be happy to discuss opportunities in IT for your future and what courses are best suited to your interests (e.g. programming vs. networking vs. security).
I currently consult for Security Auditing and Computer Forensics via whitehatresearch.com. I have worked as a programmer in a variety of languages, done system support on IBM, DEC, and VAX. My background includes work for The Federal Reseve System, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, and many other companies as a consultant. I have a PhD in Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis from the University of Arkansas -- Fayetteville. I am also a CISSP and CCE.
