COMPUTER SCIENCE
COMP 085 Computer Literacy (2 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): None. Not open to students with credit for Survey of Information Processing, Data Processing I or Computer Literacy (INFO 110).
This developmental course focuses on computer literacy. It is graded on a Pass/No Credit basis and carries institutional credit but does not count toward degree requirements. Computer literacy requires students to know the importance and uses of computers in the modern world, to recognize computer components and their basic operation, to use the basic software applications of a computer in the students’ personal and work environment and to use computers to gather reliable information from the internet. While students are introduced to the internal operations and organization of computers and networking concepts, emphasis is on the uses of computers. Students will develop skills in email, the Internet, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint in this course.
COMP 101 Problem Solving with Computing (2 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): Fundamental Algebra (MATH 150) and permission of the Computer Science Program Chair.
Using Python as the teaching language, this 2-credit, 12-week course will stress the fundamental concepts and techniques of programming to solve problems in a wide range of applications. It is designed for students with no prior programming education or experience and is especially intended for students who intend to subsequently take COMP 111 or ITEC 136. The course is also an option for students who are simply curious about how software is developed and would like to learn to write their own short programs.
COMP 106 Introduction to Spreadsheets (1 cr. hr.)
Prerequisite(s): Computer Literacy (COMP 085) or equivalent. Not open to students with credit for Computer Concepts (COMP 105).
This course focuses on using spreadsheets to solve business applications.
COMP 107 Introduction to Web Authoring (1 cr. hr.)
Prerequisite(s): Computer Literacy (COMP 085) or equivalent. Not open to students with credit for Computer Concepts (COMP 105) or to students with credit for Introduction to Presentational Software (COMP 107).
This course is an introduction to the use of software in Web authoring. It will provide students with the basic knowledge required to design, build, and maintain an informational website.
COMP 108 Introduction to Databases (1 cr. hr.)
Prerequisite(s): Computer Literacy (COMP 085) or equivalent. Not open to students with credit for Computer Concepts (COMP 105).
This course focuses on using databases to solve business applications.
COMP 111 Introduction to Computer Science & Object-Oriented Programming (4 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): College Algebra (MATH 160). Not open to students with credit for Computer Science I (COMP 110) except with the permission of the Program Chair.
This course provides an introduction to software construction using an object-oriented approach. The student learns and reflects on problem analysis, object-oriented design, implementation, and testing. To support the concepts and principles of software construction, the student will design, code, test, debug, and document programs using the Java programming language. Basic data types, control structures, methods, and classes are used as the building blocks for reusable software components. Automated unit testing, programming style, and industrial practice are emphasized in addition to the object-oriented techniques of abstraction, encapsulation, and composition.
COMP 121 Object-Oriented Data Structures & Algorithms I (4 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Computer Science & Object-Oriented Programming (COMP 111) and College Algebra (MATH 160). Not open to students with credit for Computer Science II (COMP 120) except with the permission of the Program Chair.
This course continues the object-oriented approach to software construction. The student learns and reflects on advanced object- oriented techniques, algorithm efficiency, class hierarchies, and data structures. To support the concepts and principles of software construction, the student will design, code, test, debug, and document programs using the Java programming language. Design principles, I/O, exception handling, linear data structures (lists, stacks, and queues), and design patterns are emphasized in addition to the object-oriented techniques of inheritance and polymorphism.
COMP 201 Principles of Computer Organization (2 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Computer Science & Object-Oriented Programming (COMP 111) and Discrete Mathematics (MATH 170).
This course is one of four courses that holistically explore the structure of computational systems. This course deals with the nature of computer hardware. The course will cover the structure of current computer systems at the level of functional organization, representation of data and programs, the design of the memory hierarchy, and the design of the I/O system. The course will introduce basic assembly language.
COMP 202 Principles of Computer Languages (2 cr. hrs.)
Prerequisite(s): Principles of Computer Organization (COMP 201) and Discrete Mathematics (MATH 170).
This course covers the mapping of a high-level language onto the hardware. An introduction to language theory is provided by the use of regular expression grammars. The Church-Turing thesis is introduced as the foundational definition of computation.
