This course introduces the student to the essential concepts that provide a foundation for computer programming. Topics covered include problem solving and algorithm development using flowcharts and pseudo-code, numbering systems and memory representation, control structures, data types and structures, sorting and searching algorithms, documentation procedures and programming paradigms. Three hours lecture per week, plus lab as assigned by instructor. (Fall)
COP 2171 Visual Basic Programming: Prerequisite: CGS 1000 or permission of instructor. It is recommended that COP 1311 be taken before taking this course. This course introduces object-oriented programming using Visual Studio.Net. Topics covered include object concepts (objects properties, methods, events and programming concepts, data types, sequence, selection, iteration, functions, subprograms, parameter passing, arrays, strings and files). Application development techniques will be stressed. Three hours of lecturing per week, plus lab as assigned by instructor. (Spring)
CET 1600 Networking Fundamentals: This is the first of a series of four courses designed to provide students with classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology. Instruction includes, but is not limited to networking, network terminology and protocols, network standards, local area network (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), the open system interconnection (OSI) reference model, cabling, routers, router programming, LAN/WAN topoligies, Internet protocol, (IP) addressing and network standards. Students will install, configure and operate simple-routed LAN, routed WAN and switched LANs and LAN networks. (Fall) Link to Networking Fundamentals Syllabus
