CSC 108 is the initial course in a structured five-part computer science 368 CO LLEG E C ATALO G series, emphasizing foundational principles in procedural programming. Designed to progressively build students' expertise, proficiency, and professional ethics in software engineering, the course introduces essential programming skills through a language supportive of the procedural paradigm. Central to the curriculum is the structured programming approach, guiding students through the systematic processes of designing, coding, and testing. The course emphasizes algorithmic thinking and methodical problem-solving, teaching students to conceptualize and efficiently decompose complex problems. Key aspects of procedural programming, such as writing functions and understanding control structures (loops, conditionals), are covered in depth to instill disciplined programming practices. In addition to technical skills, the course incorporates critical themes like security awareness, human-computer interaction, and social responsibility, aligning technical learning with broader societal impacts. Clear documentation, effective naming conventions, and a consistent coding style are underscored to promote a meticulous approach to software development. Conducted using a language like C++, the course involves four hours of lectures weekly and serves as the gateway to more advanced topics in the computer science series, equipping students with a robust foundation in procedural programming and its applications. Semester Offered: F/S/SU Computer Science A (CSA) Exam with a score of "3" or higher, Placement into college level English, MAT 100 or appropriate placement score Please Note: Four hours lecture

CSC 109 is the second course in a five-part computer science series, emphasizing advanced software engineering principles, focusing on abstraction and sound design. This course engages students in creating secure, reusable software components for diverse problems, highlighting the importance of reusability. Central to the curriculum is Object-Oriented Design (OOD), where students learn to structure software using objects that encapsulate data and behaviors, enhancing modularity and scalability. 2026 - 2027 The course delves into Polymorphism, allowing objects of various classes to be handled uniformly, and Abstract Classes, establishing blueprints for consistent interfaces while allowing flexible implementations. Practical exercises involve developing simple Abstract Data Types (ADTs), emphasizing documentation for reuse. Students also write assertions for class methods, fostering a deep understanding of problem-solving pre-coding, and post-coding practices including comprehensive testing with test plans and drivers. This holistic approach reinforces constructing software from well-defined, independent components and using library classes and APIs. Requiring intermediate C++ skills, the course meets for four hours weekly, bridging foundational knowledge with more complex computer science concepts, and preparing students for subsequent advanced courses. Semester Offered: F/S/SU "C" or higher Please Note: Four hours lecture
