Course Outline

I: Catalog Course Description

Emphasizes problem solving and program development techniques. Typical numerical and non-numerical problems are examined. Emphasis is placed on data abstraction, object-oriented design, implementation, testing, and documentation of elementary data structures such as lists, stacks, queues and trees. Students will write and test several non-trivial computer programs.

II: Course Objectives

Upon completion of the course, the successful students will be able to:
*Create software solutions to advanced problems using object-oriented and procedural approaches.
*Create algorithms, class diagrams, action diagrams, and pseudocode for advanced problems.
Create and use abstract data types and data structures.
*Use lists, stacks, queues, and trees.
*Test and document their programming solutions.

III: Course Linkage

Linkage of course to educational program mission and at least one educational program outcome.
