This course introduces students to basic computer programming ideas and foundational principles such as problem decomposition and step-wise refinement. The course explores problem solving using well-developed programming logic derived with pseudo code, flow charts, and related techniques. The course focuses on translating student developed solutions into simple programs for testing using an instructor-selected, high-level programming, or scripting language.

SLOs:
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Explain general architecture and function of a computer.
Apply generally accepted programming principles.
Create Flowcharts and logic diagrams.
Write code using selection statements.
Write code using top and bottom checking loops.
Use mathematical, comparison and logical operators while coding.
Write simple programs using object oriented concepts.
