Description:

Catalog Description This is an introductory course for students intending to major in computer science and requiring a computer programming course. Emphasis will be on problem solving, algorithm/pseudocode development, structured programming, computer language coding, implementation and debugging/testing. Students will develop application programs in an IBM microcomputer/DOS/Windows operating system environment. Students will be taught to develop appropriate programs using accepted standards and methodologies. Actual programming is a part of this course. (3 hrs. lect./1 hr. lab.) Prerequisite: Credit for MATH 27 or MATH 103 or equivalent; or consent of instructor. Student Learning Outcomes Use an appropriate programming environment to design, code, compile, run and debug computer programs. Demonstrate basic problem solving skills: analyzing problems, modeling a problem as a system of objects, creating algorithms, and implementing models and algorithms in an object-oriented computer language (classes, objects, methods with parameters, abstract classes, interfaces, inheritance and polymorphism). Illustrate basic programming concepts such as program flow and syntax of a high-level general purpose language. Identify relationships between computer systems programming and programming languages. Demonstrate working with primitive data types, strings and arrays.
