Description:

This is a core course for computer science and computer information systems majors. It and its companion course (CST 202 Computer Science II) provide introductory-level knowledge on computer information systems and the Internet. It introduces the student to the modern computer system, operating systems, programming languages, programming techniques and Internet web page development. During the course of this semester, the student will acquire minimal proficiency in an example language for the topical material covered. Extensive hands-on, team-based laboratory work reinforces the information gained through course material. The course presumes no prerequisite knowledge of computer systems,but most students who enroll have had at least one course in computer programming. It does presume fundamental understanding of basic mathematics. The course will focus on Intel-based-processor-oriented computers, up-to-date operating systems and modern program development environments. Personal access to a computer will be advantageous, but the student will have ample opportunity for hands-on usage of the laboratory computers. Prerequisites:none.Fall semester.
