CSE

14 courses with the subject CSE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

CSE 138Introduction to Computer Science & Engineering3.00

This course introduces the concept of hexadecimal and binary numbers and their use in computers and computer science and engineering. Students will learn how different data types are represented using the 101 digital format. In addition, the students will learn about transistors and their use in building basic logic gates. The course will also cover Boolean logic and Boolean expression in conjunction with logic gates and logic circuits.
