This honors course is an introduction to problem solving and program design using structured, top-down, algorithmic development techniques applied to the solution of numeric and non-numeric problems. Software engineering topics such as analysis, design, implementation, testing, documentation, and maintenance of software are discussed. Laboratory work will be done using the C++ computer language. The course also incorporates a research-based assignment and summarizes the evolution of programming languages illustrating how this history has led to the paradigms available today.
