Computer Science (CSCI)

This course introduces the basics of everyday logic. Students will learn how to think about design and logic flow. They will use flowcharts, and pseudo code in communicating and synthesizing information solving business problems. Students will be exposed to algorithm design and development in the process of decision making in all areas of the human experience. An introduction to computer hardware and components will also be provided.

This course includes an overview of computers and programming; problem solving and algorithm development; simple data types; arithmetic and logic operators; selection structures; repetition structures; text files; arrays (one and two dimensional); procedural abstraction and software design; modular programming (including subprograms or the equivalent).

This course includes an overview of abstract data types; arrays (multi-dimensional) and records; sets and strings; binary files; se arching and sorting; introductory algorithm analysis (including Big- O); recursion, pointers and linked lists; software engineering concepts; dynamic data structures (stacks, queues, trees).

This course introduces students to the concepts and methods fundamental to databases development and database management systems. Students will design, implement and maintain a relational database. Students will explore basic functions and features of a database management system (DBMS), with an emphasis on the relational model. Students use various applications to construct databases and are introduced to Structured Query language (SQL). Topics include normalization, ERD, logical and physical design, SQL query, database applications, and data warehouse. Labs will use a database management system (DBMS) such as Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL or Access.

This course provides the student with an overview of networking concepts; creating network diagrams; network protocols and addressing; network cabling; wireless networking; network connections, virtualization, and Virtual Private Networks (VPN); encryption protocols; subnets; risk management and security in network design.
