COSC 1300 Introduction to Computing
A survey course discussing computing terminology, components, programming concepts, and the computer's integration into business activities. Laboratory experience includes word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software and databases.
COSC 1301 Personal Computing
A hands-on course for the development of skills needed to use personal computer systems for business, individual, and educational applications. Learn word processing, database management, spreadsheet development, and how to use the operating system. Keyboarding skills are not required, but are helpful. May not be applied toward a CSC degree.
COSC 1315 Fundamentals of Programming
An introduction to computer concepts, logic, and computer programming. Includes designing, coding, debugging, testing, and documenting programs using a high-level programming language.
COSC 1320 C++ Programming
This is an introduction to the C++ programming language and its subset, the C programming language. Program structure, blocks, storage types, console and file I/O, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, call-by-reference, call-by-value, and dynamic memory allocation will be discussed. The concept of classes will be introduced. The differences between C++ and C will also be discussed. Prerequisite: COSC 1315 or department approval.
COSC 2415 Data Structures
Investigation of techniques for program design, testing, and debugging. Data structures are studied including stacks, queues, linked lists and binary trees. Searching, sorting, recursion, strings, and arrays are also covered. Taught in appropriate high-level language. Prerequisite: COSC 1320 or department approval.
COSC 2425 Computer Organization and Machine Language -- PC Assembly
Computer organization and programming for the microcomputer. Emphasis on macros, assemblers, loaders, linkers, channels, subroutines, coroutines, internal and I/O operations, low level I/O, recursion, data manipulation including arrays and records. Prerequisite: Two semesters of programming or department approval.
