8 courses with the subject CSC, 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.
CSC 110Principles of Computer Science3
Provides a broad introduction to the field of computer science. Introduces design techniques, development of algorithms, and applications of computer science. Includes the idea of abstraction as a problem solving technique. Examines the functionality of computing innovations and computing systems. Discusses the potential impacts of these innovations from a social, legal, and ethical perspective. The assignments in this course require mathematical problem solving skills, algebraic modeling and functions, and use of variables. This is a UCGS Transfer course. Lecture 3 hours.
Examines the hierarchical structure of computer architecture. Focuses on multi-level machine organization. Uses a simple assembler language to complete programming projects. Includes processors, instruction, execution, addressing techniques, data representation and digital logic.
Introduces discrete mathematics concepts in relation to computer science. Applies the use of Boolean algebra, analysis of algorithms such as logic, sets and functions, recursive algorithms, and recurrence relations, combinatorics, graphs, and trees. Assignments in this course require a basic understanding of programming concepts, problem solving, basic college algebra and trigonometry skills. Lecture 3 hours.
Includes language syntax, problem solving techniques, top-down refinement, procedure definition, loop invariance, theory of numerical errors and debugging. Covers the syntax of the C++ language.
CSC 221Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming3
MTH 161 Introduces problem solving and implementation of solutions using a high level programming language in a structured programming environment. Includes concepts and practice of structured programming, problem-solving, top-down design of algorithms, a high level programming language syntax, control structures, arrays, and an introduction into object oriented programming. First course in a three course sequence. (CSC 221-222-223) The assignments in this course require mathematical problem solving skills, algebraic modeling and functions, and use of variables.
Eligible to enroll in MTH 161 or higher. Lecture 3 hours.
CSC 222Object-Oriented Programming4
Introduces the concepts and techniques of object-oriented programming to students with a background in procedural programming and problem-solving. Uses a high-level computer language to illustrate and implement the topics. Second course in a three course sequence. (CSC 221-222-223).
CSC 223Data Structures and Analysis of Algorithms4
Explores and contrasts data structures, algorithms for manipulating data structures, and their use and appropriateness in writing efficient real-world programming applications. Investigates implementations of different data structures for efficient searching, sorting, and other transformer operations. Third course in a three-course sequence. (CSC 221-222-223).
