Which courses should i choose (Computer Science) ?

After graduating with a BS in Computer Science specializing in Game Programming, I plan to work in places like NASA, US Air Force or any aerospace related field. For the Upper-division electives, I should choose at least 12 credit hours. Which courses should I choose from the list below ?





CS250 Windows Programming Using Visual Basic


CS251 Advanced Visual Basic


CS260 Concepts of Java


CS280 Programming of C#


IS301 Web Page Design I


CS330 Algorithm Design and Analysis


IS325 Introduction to Database Systems


IS332 Java Script


IS370 Active Server Pages


CS430 Artificial Intelligence


CS440 Data Communications %26amp; Networking


CS445 Independent Programming Project


MIS350 Information Systems Project Management





Please help me.

Which courses should i choose (Computer Science) ?
These are my top 4 in order





1) CS280 Programming of C# - This is the most sought out language right now among employers, but you will probably only learn the basics since it’s a lower division class





2) CS440 Data Communications %26amp; Networking - I think this class should be mandatory. It would be sad to see a CS major not knowing about at least some basic networking protocols





3) IS325 Introduction to Database Systems - Can't think of any workplace that doesn't use some kind of a database (is there one offered under the CS dept, not IS?)





4) CS430 Artificial Intelligence - It should tie in nicely most of the CS concepts you have learned (this will be an advanced class)





Also I don't think you need to take any web development classes as a CS major. I mean do you need a class on Web Page Design or Java Script? You can pick that up in a day or two. Also I am surprised they offer a class on ASP because it's being replaced by ASP .NET.
