II. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course covers the use of general purpose programming language to solve problems.
The emphasis is to train the students to design. Implement, test, and debug programs intended to solve
computing problems using the fundamentals of programming.

III. PROGRAM OUTCOMES

A graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CS) program must attain:
a. An ability to apply knowledge of computing fundamentals, knowledge of a computing
specialization, and mathematics, science, and domain knowledge appropriate for the
computing specialization to the abstraction and conceptualization of computing models from
defined problems and requirements;
b. An ability to identify, analyze, formulate, research literature, and solve complex computing
problems and requirements reaching substantiated conclusions using fundamental
principles of mathematics, computing sciences, and relevant domain disciplines;
c. An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles and computer science
theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates
comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices;
 d. Knowledge and understanding of information security issues in relation to the design,
development and use of information systems;
e. An ability to design and evaluate solutions for complex computing problems, and design and
evaluate systems, components, or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate
consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental
considerations;
f. An ability to create, select, adapt and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern
computing tools to complex computing activities, with an understanding of the limitations to
accomplish a common goal;
g. An ability to function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams
and in multidisciplinary settings;
h. An ability to communicate effectively with the computing community and with society at
large about complex computing activities by being able to comprehend and write effective
reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and understand clear
instructions;
i. An ability to recognize the legal, social, ethical and professional issues involved in the
utilization of computer technology and be guided by the adoption of appropriate
professional, ethical and legal practices;
j. An ability to recognize the need, and to engage in independent learning for continual
development as a computing professional.
