Introduction to Programming using Java (1 unit)
I&C SCI X460.20
This course enables a person with no programming experience to understand programming concepts using Java programming language. It will teach you how to think like a programmer, introduce you to the algorithm design, user interaction, code reusability, and basics of Java programming language. You will learn all this through hands-on examples, fun exercises, quizzes, and creative projects. By the end of this course you will have a solid understanding of the foundations of programming, allowing you to move to more advanced programming courses in the future.

Introduction to Programming with Python (2 units)
I&C SCI X426.64
This hands-on course is specifically designed for students who have very little to no programming experience. In this courses participants will learn about variable types, flow control, and functions. This course will include how to write simple scripts to process text, plot data, interact with web services, and set up a web service. Participants will also learn how to use eclipse, a popular integrated development environment. Prerequisites: None.

Introduction to Computer Programming Using C++ (3 units)
I&C SCI X471.1
Learn the basics of computer programming using C++, a sophisticated programming language normally reserved for experienced users but now made accessible to new programmers in this fast-paced, hands-on course. In addition to introducing the language, this course also introduces the object-oriented paradigm, the modern approach to developing interactive software applications for a wide variety of uses. Topics include fundamental program structures, control structures, mathematical functions, data arrays, pointers, and dynamic memory. Because of the accelerated nature of this course, students are expected to allocate sufficient time outside of class to study the textbook and other materials provided in class. This course is designed for technical professionals with minimal programming experience and highly motivated individuals desiring to learn fundamental programming techniques.

Advanced Application of the C++ Standard Template Library (1.5 units)
I&C SCI X471.27
Beginning and intermediate C++ courses often focus on the syntax and semantics of C++ constructs and do not afford students much opportunity to practice and enhance their object-orie intermediate level C++ students who wish to gain some experience using C++ as an object-oriented design tool. The course begins with a review of the notions of data abstraction, encapsulation, and object-oriented programming and progresses into detailed analysis of the key features of the C++ class. The course then transitions into case studies and problem solving exercises in which students are challenged to apply C++ class features to small object-oriented design problems. This class is very lab and assignment intensive.

Data Structures and Algorithms (2.5 units)
I&C SCI X460.37
Gain a solid background in data structures and their associated algorithms. This course approaches data structures from an advanced viewpoint with a focus on basic principles of modern software engineering. It provides a good foundation for further study in object-oriented programming. Course topics are presented in a language-neutral fashion which may be adapted to any number of modern programming languages. Assignments will require use of pseudo-code to stress the design and architecture. You'll learn how to analyze large-scale problems and create solutions by identifying the data structures and relevant algorithms, evaluate efficiency tradeoffs in competing designs, and modularize programs by encapsulating data structures with their accompanying algorithms.
