This course introduces students to computer science. Students will
design software independently and as part of a team, using
industry-standard programming tools and applying the software
development life-cycle model. They will also write and use subprograms
within computer programs. Students will develop creative solutions for
various types of problems as their understanding of the computing
environment grows. They will also explore environmental and ergonomic
issues, emerging research in computer science, and global career trends
in computer-related fields.
