3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course is an introduction to computers and computer programming. Key topics include computer machinery and the concepts that make them possible. Topics cover problem specification; program logic, structure and interfaces; program implementation, documentation, and testing. The course is recommended for a broad range of audiences. It is primarily aimed at students who have no programming experience. This group will include students intending to major in IS or CS, students who want to explore the area of computer science with the idea of becoming an IS or CS major, or students who have interests in computers and computer technology beyond the users level but may have no intention of majoring in IS or CS. This course does not count toward the CS or IS major. Prerequisites:none.Fall semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
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.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The purpose of this course sequence is to provide a basic understanding of the foundations of computer science and to gain a solid level of proficiency in the two prominent programming paradigms: procedural and object-oriented programming. Key programming topics include: data types, input/output, control structures, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, data abstraction and classes, objects, methods, inheritance and polymorphism, Streams-oriented I/O and exception handling. Key software development topics include: structured programming practices, object-oriented design, problem specification, systems architecture, testing, debugging and software reuse. This course sequence is intended for majors in CS and IS or other highly motivated students.Prerequisite:CST 201.Spring semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Advanced consideration of data types and algorithms. Algorithm design, correctness and analysis will be emphasized. Prerequisite: CST 202. Fall semester.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to computer hardware, software, procedures, and system concepts with the integration of these concepts to business. Productivity software commonly used in business will be discussed and applied.Prerequisite: BUS 201 or CST 201.Offered each semester.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the application of information systems within an organization. The course will explore the ethical issues, development issues, project management, systems development and change management. Students normally enroll in this course concurrently with CST 266. Prerequisite: CST 266. Offered each semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will teach students to use business programming principles, object oriented models, and a business-oriented programming language in order to consider important data structures and business related algorithms. Appropriate class libraries, syntax and documentation will be used to bolster business design principles and a team programming experience. Prerequisites: CST 266, 267.Fall semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Survey of the principles of database management and design. Course involves the creation of a database application using a relational database management system. The student will also encounter the hierarchical, network and objectoriented models for database organization. Prerequisites: CST 201 and another 200-level CST class.Spring semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Comprehensive tour though the computer networking from data transmission and wiring to application software. Discussion includes facilities and services provided by different layers of network protocols. Hardware, packet switching, internetworking and network applications are among topics considered. Prerequisites: CST 201 and another 200-level CST class.Spring semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Provides an introduction to the electronics hardware of microcomputers. The microcomputer will be considered as a system and also its functional blocks (CPU, memory, control, and input/output) examined individually. Prerequisite: CST 230. Spring semester, odd years.
