Students learn object-oriented programming methodology and the use and implementation of abstract data types using a high-level programming language. Students study object-oriented programming to design and code programming solutions that require files, control structures, methods, functions, classes, and arrays. They study static and dynamic implementation of data structures, stacks, queues, linked lists, and recursion.

Students study the mathematical and empirical analysis of algorithms.  Various searching and sorting techniques are examined. Also, benchmarking, the efficiency of algorithms, and comparative studies.

Students create programs using numerical algorithms, analyzing each with respect to requirements and limitations.

This course is an introduction to the use of computers for input, manipulation, and display of graphical information. Students design and code modules to carry out fundamental graphics operations such as transforming, clipping, and zooming two-dimensional objects. Some animation techniques are studied.

This course introduces the basic principles of structured programming, within the context of an object-oriented language. Topics covered include fundamentals of programming languages, such as Python and Java, simple and structured data types, control statements, functions, arrays, and classes. Emphasis is placed on developing effective problem-solving techniques through individual and team projects.

Students study both the theory and practice of computer use through a wide variety of activities developed to coordinate with their mathematics and science courses. Students design and implement their own original solutions to given problems, following current structured programming concepts in a high-level language. They learn the inner workings of computer systems and design and build circuitry to accomplish a given task.
