Computer Science (CS)

CS 007A  Computer Science I   Units: 4

This course is an introduction to computer programming and is designed primarily for computer science and related transfer majors. Its main objective is to teach principles and practices of computer science, but students will also engage in problem solving using the C++ programming language. Topics include structured procedural programming with program control structures (sequence, selection, iteration), modular program structures (functions and parameter passing), data types (primitive types, arrays, files and structures) and an intro to object-oriented programming.(C-ID COMP 122)

CS 007B  Computer Science II   Units: 3

This second course in computer science introduces more advanced topics in programming. Students will use modularity to develop solutions for larger-scale programming problems. Recursion, file processing, and object-oriented programming are implemented. This course will be taught using the C++ programming language. (C-ID COMP 132)

CS 008  Computer Architecture and Organization   Units: 3

The organization and behavior of computer systems at the assembly-language level. The translation of statements and constructs in a high-level language into sequences of machine instructions is studied, as well as the internal representation of simple data types and structures. Numerical computation is examined, noting the various data representation errors and potential procedural errors. Digital electronics with the Boolean algebra of logic gates is studied.

CS 009  Data Structures and Algorithms   Units: 4

This is an advanced course in C++ programming. Students design, write, and debug C++ programs using structured programming concepts. Topics covered include pointers; linked lists, unions and data structures; bit operations, user-defined data types; recursion; incorporation of assembly language subroutines; and advanced graphical and animation techniques.
