Thai VI is an intermediate-level course for students who have completed Thai I-V or the equivalent. The course is offered through the Five College Supervised Independent Language Program. The independent study format includes small group conversation sessions and an evaluation by an outside evaluator. Students studying Thai develop speaking and listening skills needed for study abroad in Thailand and to support course work in Asian Studies.

This novel course presents an introduction to the topic of security engineering by building on analytical and experimental computer engineering techniques, and then applying them to security problems. Security is playing an increasing role in computer engineering and society at large. Security engineering crosses several disciplines of computer engineering including hardware, software, cryptography, experimental methods as well as broader topics such as management, economics, risk analysis, policy and human factors.

This course provides the theoretical and practical foundations for engineering the production of contemporary and future software intensive systems, and provides the basis for the analysis and co-design of complex hardware and software systems. The course enables advanced engineering problem solving concepts and skills by means of state of the art tools. The primary objectives of the course are to provide a deep introduction to both i) "systems" software programming in a Unix environment and ii) the basic suite of tools for engineering software.
