This course provides the student with an introduction to computer hardware, development of computer programs for problem solving through the use of algorithms and pseudocode, data communications, fundamentals of computer security, and use of computer hardware. This course also provides the student with an introduction to data and databases, operating systems (Linux and Windows), and data analytics and data mining. Equivalent to COS1011 and COS2112.
This course presents the fundamental concepts of databases and the general architectures used in modern databases. The ideas of database design are presented along with topics such as database access, indexing, reports and queries. The student will be exposed to one of the current database management systems. An actual database application using the programmability of the DBMS is created as part of this course.
(PQ: COS1011) This course is a continuation of Principles of Computing I and provides the student with an introduction to data and databases, operating systems (Linux and Windows), and data analytics and data mining.
Fundamental principles of programming in the “C” programming language for those with some programming experience. Programming techniques, language, and vocabulary. In addition, materials cover variables identification, loops, conditionals statements, data transformations, arrays, pointers, and programming functions.
Fundamental principles of programming in the “C++” programming language. Object-oriented programming, classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. Exploration of algorithms including searching, sorting and optimization. Exploration of libraries for desktop applications, computer graphics, and machine learning.
