This is the first course in a two-course sequence in computational problem solving of engineering and scientific problems. The problems solved will stress the application of sequence, selection, repetitive, invocation operations, and arrays. The development of proper testing procedures to ensure computational accuracy will be stressed. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to analyze introductory engineering and scientific problems, design, code, test, and document procedural software solutions.

This is the second course in a two-course sequence in computational problem solving of engineering and scientific problems. The problems solved will stress the application of data structures and object oriented classes. Data encapsulation, data management, and design robustness will be stressed. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to analyze complex engineering and scientific problems, design, code, test, and document objected-oriented software solutions.

This course will provide students with an introduction to operating systems theory, and practical problem solving approaches to real-time systems. An embedded real-time operating system is used as the foundation for a variety of programming projects. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to understand the operation and describe the various components of an operating system. They will be able to evaluate design trade-offs and selection criteria for different types of operating systems, and demonstrate the ability to write multiple process that run together within an embedded, real-time operating system.

Special topics are experimental courses announced as offered. Variable credit.
