CSC (0145) 150 - Explorations in Computer Coding and Data Manipulation Credits: 3.00
Students will be introduced to and learn how to code computer programs by applying the concepts of: data types, variables, functions, conditionals and loops. Students will use code to explore and analyze structured data.
Students will:
• Students will be able to explain the types of problems that can be solved using computational techniques, and identify problem-solving strategies that can be implemented using code
• Upon completion, students will be able to explain and apply core computer coding concepts such as abstraction, variables, conditions, functions, and repetition
• Students will think algorithmically and be able to design and test computer programs
• Students will have mastered the basic syntax and idioms of a modern programming language
• Students will be able to use technical documentation, APIs, and other sources located on the Internet to learn new technical concepts
• Students will develop step by step problem solving techniques and debugging practices
