**Reference ID:** CALIGN-2025-COM249-828
**Date of Analysis:** 2025-07-23

This report summarizes the findings of a curriculum alignment analysis conducted on the document titled 'COM249: Network Security - Fall 2025', which is a Course Syllabus for Computer Science. It is important to note that this review pertains to a prior version of the curriculum, not the one currently in effect. The intended audience is within the University Undergraduate, spanning from grade level 15 to 16.
The curriculum is segmented into 4 distinct learning units. As an example, the unit 'Advanced Algorithms' It focuses on core concepts such as algorithms, data structures. A key objective in this section (Ref: OBJ-01-01) is for students to ' optimize the concept of object-oriented programming.', which is categorized at the 'Analyze' cognitive level. Supporting resources include a Textbook Chapter titled 'Organic composite neural-net'. Its public accessibility is noted as True. Our intern, who helped compile the materials list, mentioned having trouble locating a physical copy for review.

**Identified Deficiencies:**
A primary concern raised during the analysis was a gap related to 'outdated_material': Insufficient focus on machine learning application. This particularly impacts objectives like OBJ-04-04, OBJ-01-03. The proposed remediation is to incorporate a new project on the topic.

**Interdisciplinary Opportunities:**
An opportunity for cross-curricular linkage with Mathematics was identified, particularly around the topic of 'Discrete Mathematics'. </data>
