IM 101Microbased Computer Literacy
3c-0l-3sh An introductory course designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of computers. This course familiarizes students with the interaction of computer hardware and software. Emphasis is placed on the application of microcomputers, the use of productivity software (word processing, spreadsheet management, file and data base management), and the social and ethical aspect of the impact of computers on society. Note: This course is cross-listed as BE101 and CO101. Any of these courses may be substituted for each other and may be used interchangeably for D or F repeats but may not be counted for duplicate credit.
3c-0l-3sh An introductory course designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of MIS. Systems theory, quality, decision making, and the organizational role of information systems are introduced. Information technology, including basic programming skills, is stressed. Concepts of organization, information system growth, telecommunications, and re-engineering are introduced.
3c-0l-3sh Demonstrates how to utilize the microcomputer in business. Topics will include hardware, operating systems, word processing, spreadsheets, data base, and BASIC. Offered for Associate Degree Program only.
3c-0l-3sh Involves teaching the tools and techniques required for the analysis and the design of business systems. The major steps in the system’s development life cycle are presented along with practical applications from the major subsystems of typical business organizations. Issues related to personnel, hardware, software, and procedures are explored as students work individually and in project teams to solve typical business application problems.
3c-0l-3sh Introduces the student to the COBOL programming as it applies to business organizations and their applications. Structured COBOL concepts and methods are taught as the student learns how to solve business problems using computers. The student will be involved using files, reports, and tables to produce a variety of outputs utilized in operating and managing business activities.

3c-0l-3sh Student is taught fundamental and advanced concepts of computer hardware and a procedure for evaluation and acquisition of computer hardware.
3c-0l-3sh Advanced COBOL is a continuation of introductory COBOL with an emphasis on structured methodology of program design, development, testing, implementation, and documentation of common business-oriented applications. It includes a heavy emphasis on the techniques and concepts of the table processing, file organization, and processing alternatives, internal and external sorting, subroutines, and application development for both the batch and on-line systems. Micro Focus COBOL software is utilized.
3c-0l-3sh Demonstrates how to use the microcomputer in business and how to provide technical assistance to users of the microcomputer. Emphasis will be placed on integrating software and interfacing with mainframe computers or with minicomputers. Topics covered include microcomputer hardware, microcomputer operating systems, local area networks, and microcomputer software tools.
3c-0l-3sh Emphasizes the responsibility of the systems analyst to include in systems design the proper management and financial controls and audit trails in business information systems. The design of controls for application programs and systems is covered. Audit software packages are examined.
3c-0l-3sh After learning data structures, the student will then apply them to CODASYL compatible data base management systems, TOTAL, and IBM’s data base management system. Student must develop and use a data base as part of requirement. [Course revision in process]
