CS1 course that provides a comprehensive application of the fundamental principles of programming and computational thinking. Problem-solving techniques and algorithm development implemented in the C++ programming language. Initial coverage of simple data types, modular design, control structures, and functions. Significant work with structured data types including arrays, pointers, records, files, and sorting and searching methods. Projects transition from a procedural approach to the use of class and object concepts to create basic object-oriented programs. This foundation sets the stage for developing efficient and effective programs applicable to a variety of scientific and technical challenges. Commercial development tools will be used. Opportunity for industry certification. Corequisite: CIS 167 (can be taken concurrently) Additional Course Fee: $30.00
Prerequisites: CIS 167
