Overview

Programming: Computer programs (software) are the instructions that give computers their power. You will learn to program in several languages — Java, C, Python and Perl. A skilled programmer knows how to design, code and test large programs so they run efficiently and are easy to maintain.
Logic and math: How do we measure and compare program efficiency? How do we know that a program computes correct results? An answer to these questions requires the language of mathematics and logic.
Systems: Computer hardware continues to evolve. As it does, new demands are placed on operating systems, device drivers and other software artifacts. You will study these connections in two courses — computer organization and operating systems.
Putting it all together: Software engineering and software design studio are capstone courses where students work together to design, code, test and document a software project.
