This course emphasizes an object-oriented approach to solving computer programming problems. Using these techniques leads to shorter system development life cycles, increased programmer productivity, code reusability, and reduced system maintenance costs. This course provides a thorough, practical knowledge of object-oriented programming methods. Students learn the principles underlying programming using a language such as C++. Note: Students (except BA in Mathematics majors and BS in Financial Mathematics majors) cannot get credit for both CIS 3100 and MTH 4300. CIS majors will be required to take an additional CIS course if receiving credit for MTH 4300 to satisfy the 24-credit requirement for the CIS major.

This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of computer programming using a high-level programming language. The topics include program design, algorithm development using various control structures, modularization, debugging and documentation.

Provides a foundation for the application of a high level programming language such as c++ in a business context. Students learn how to code and decode programs using fundamental tools of a high level programming language. Hands on experience to run and debug programs using different business applications. Designed for programming and systems majors only.

3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab; 4 creditsAlgorithms, computers and programs. Writing, debugging, and testing programs. Loops and conditional control structures. Functions and parameter passing. Arrays, strings and simple classes. Sorting, searching and other basic algorithms. Input and output. Programming applications selected from various disciplines. History and basic concepts of computer science. Completion of this course prohibits a student from receiving credit for CISC 1113, 1114, and CISC 1115.

Computer Science Elective

This course for prospective computer science majors and minors concentrates onproblem solving techniques using a high-level programming language.

Computer problem solving and programming in a high level language such as C++ are introduced. Algorithmic problem solving and basic programming techniques are emphasized. Problems are solved using methods such as top-down design and stepwise iterative refinement. Programming topics include basic data types, operators and expressions, control structures, functions, arrays and pointers. Students are introduced to a modern program development environment in the computer lab and are expected to complete several programming projects.

Elective Credit

This is an advanced programming course in the Computer Science option with focus on object oriented programming. Topics include classes, constructors, inheritance, superclasses, subclasses, interface, strings, graphics, graphical user interface, applets, dynamic data structures, threads and exceptions. Students will write programs to implement user-defined classes.

Use of software packages for word processing, database manipulation, and spreadsheet calculation. Introduction to the Internet and the World Wide Web.

Computer Information Systems Elective

Elective Credit

Introduction to the principles of algorithmic analysis and computational implementation. Topics include implementation methodologies, including choice and use of data types, objects, classes, and methods; control structures; basic data structures including arrays; procedures and functions; parameters and arguments; scope and lifetime of variables; input and output; Written documentation describing algorithms and identification and correction of algorithmic implementations.

This course provides an introduction to object-oriented programming methods using the C++ programming language. The object approach supports the development of independent and reusable software components for building complex applications. Using these techniques results in shorter development time, more robust applications, and greater programmer productivity.
