Term
- CSC 110 - Principles of Computer Science
- Provides a broad introduction to the field of computer science. Introduces design techniques, development of algorithms, and applications of computer science. Includes the idea of abstraction as a problem solving technique. Examines the functionality of computing innovations and computing systems. Discusses the potential impacts of these innovations from a social, legal, and ethical perspective. The assignments in this course require mathematical problem solving skills, algebraic modeling and functions, and use of variables.Lecture 3 hours. Total 3 hours per week.
3 credits - CSC 130 - Scientific Programming
- Introduces a science-oriented, high level programming language. Studies the language and its application in problem solving in a structured programming environment. Includes the concepts and practice of structured programming, problem-solving, top-down design of algorithms, basic C syntax, control structures, arrays, and data structures.Lecture 3-4 hours per week.
3-4 credits - CSC 155 - Computer Concepts and Applications
- Introduces basic hardware and software concepts of computer usage and the computer's impact on society. Includes applications of various types of software to illustrate how computers are used in sciences, social sciences, humanities, and education.
