CT 1510 - Introduction to Programming Logic and Design

The course will provide the student with knowledge on the principles of programming logic and design. An emphasis will be placed on using the correct rules of program engineering, structure of data, basic algorithms and problem solving in computer programming. A hands‐on approach will be used to conceptualize programming concepts and techniques. Additional importance will be placed on understanding the value of creating flowcharts or writing pseudo code and will include top‐down program development using algebraic notation, standard control structures, and arrays in an appropriate programming language. The course stresses planning, building, coding, testing, debugging and documenting program applications. Additional programming concepts covered include binary representation, storage, and general architecture and functioning of a computer system. (4 credits)
