Course work introduces students to the concept of a program and techniques of good program design, to internal data representations and common data structures, to elementary mathematics associated with computer systems and to a working knowledge of Pascal, C, and assembly programming languages. The following curriculum in computer science has been designed as a guide for those students wishing to prepare for a bachelor's degree in computer science. Because upper level institutions require advanced math courses, taking additional math courses in your degree plan is recommended. Computer science majors should consult the degree requirements of the university which they plan to attend before selecting electives or specific general education courses. Introduction to Computer System.
Emphasis is placed on using the computer to process text and numeric information.
Lab exercises are designed to allow students to use their reasoning ability to solve problems and make decisions. Not for computer science majors or BCIS majors. Lab fee required. A first course for computer science majors or other majors where a computer language or computer minor would be of benefit. Presents terminology, concepts and techniques, including hardware, firmware and software.
