    Description
    Focus is on hands-on C/C++ programming skills, problem-solving using algorithmic thinking, abstraction, implementing an algorithm to executable code, debugging and testing software programs. Problem solving through stepwise development of algorithms is presented. Students will learn programming language syntax, coding, program logic, and program testing. Students will plan, create, test, and run their own programs to solve typical problems. (Engineering and science majors consult counselors)
