Description
A study of problem-solving and programming using the computer language Java.
Students learn object-oriented techniques to construct programs using existing
software components by solving a variety of symbolic and numeric problems.
Students will also examine the social, educational, and ethical impact of
computers on modern society.
This is a new course that will be taught in a new format! All class meetings will be held in an Interactive Computer Classroom containing
20 HP workstations where students will be expected to be active participants
during in-class group exercises.
