Programming I

Catalog description

This course provides a solid foundation in computing by focusing on problem-solving and fundamental programming skills. Students will gain skills in computational thinking and will learn to implement solutions using a contemporary programming language. This course will emphasize good programming practices such as writing well-tested comprehensible code that is developed incrementally and iteratively. The course will cover essential topics that will include variables, data types and expressions, control structures (conditionals, loops), basic data structures, functions and modular programming, handling input/output, and testing and debugging. Components: Class Prereqs/Coreqs: P: MATH 1530 or MATH 1920 (formerly 1630) or MATH 2130 or higher Typically Offered: Based on Student Demand
