    This course introduces students to the field of Information Systems Technology and outlines the material covered throughout the entire IS&T Program at Temple. The course addresses the three core issues: 1) Information (the basic science of data encoding, transmission and storage); 2) People (the interactions among technologies, users, institutions, and regulations; and 3) Technology (the design and operation of basic information technology devices). The course will be conducted as lectures and case studies where the students will learn how information flows in organizations, how data is stored and processed and how we can use technology to help people and organizations to perform efficiently. Students will work in teams to analyze scenarios and propose solutions by applying analytic techniques and theories covered in the course. Examples and cases will be drawn from a range of domains including: high tech, medical, business and government. Emphasis will be placed on writing proper reports and presentations.

    Note: For Information Science and Technology Majors. It is also recommended for undecided students looking for a major. Prerequisite:    A grade of C or higher in MATH 0701 (0045) or 0702 or higher, or placement into MATH 1021 (C073) or higher

    This course introduces students to the principles of computer programming by using a non-traditional approach that reduces or eliminates the barriers often encountered by students. Software tools will provide an easy-to-use environment for students to learn programming. After students have mastered these straightforward introductory tools, the course will make a transition to a traditional programming language.

    Note: Duplicate Course: No credit for students who have completed C+IN SC 1057 (C071), 1068 (0067), or 1073 (C081). Also, you cannot get credit if you take two of the courses at the same time. Prerequisite:    A grade of C or higher in MATH 0701 (0045) or 0702 or higher, or placement into MATH 1021 (C073) or higher

    With the explosion of computer technology, knowledge of computing applications as tools for all disciplines has become a necessary asset. This course will introduce the student to understanding the components of a computer system; the use of the computer to process information; the technology behind computers and networks and how this technology is likely to change; purchasing and maintaining a personal computer system; understanding the technology of the Internet; and social and ethical implications of computing. The laboratory portion of this class will provide students with hands-on experience to supplement the lecture material. Operating system concepts, a working knowledge of collaborative software and the following applications are covered: advanced features of word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software and the resources of the Internet including developing a web site using sound design techniques to publish course documents and incorporating multi-media components.

    Note: (1) Duplicate Course: No credit for students who have taken C+IN SC 0835 (GE-SCI 0060) or 935 (GE-SCI H060). (2) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Science & Technology Second Level (SB) requirement. Prerequisite:    Prerequisite: A grade of C or higher in MATH 0701 (0045) or 0702 or higher, or placement into MATH 1021 (C073) or higher

  • 4.00 Credits

    This course is designed to introduce students with little or no programming experience to the programming languages and techniques that are associated with the World Wide Web. XHTML, Javascript and Flash ActionScript will be used to create web pages and learn basic programming techniques. Web Server languages and their role in expanding the functionality of the web site will be explored. Emphasis will be placed on the types of programs that Web designers and computer users need to create. Rather than writing programs from scratch, emphasis will be placed on modifying running programs to add functionality. The syntax and semantics of the programming languages will be introduced as needed. Prerequisite:    Grade of C or better in C+IN SC 1055 (C055) or equivalent
