Introduction to Computational Thinking

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to computational thinking and creative computer programming for students from any academic discipline. Students will design algorithms given a problem specification and implement an application that will respond to user interactions and/or external events. These applications will deal with non-trivial data and will require algorithms that utilize iteration and selection. Students will test the applications in a systematic way to evaluate how well an application solves the given problem. Meets the general education math/computer requirement. Prerequisites: Satisfactory completion of the mathematics preparatory requirement.
