ECE 2400

Computer Systems Programming

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

Computer systems programming involves developing software to connect the low-level computer hardware to high-level, user-facing application software. This course will provide a strong foundation in the principles, practices, and art of computer systems programming using the C and C++ programming languages. Students will learn procedural programming in C and how to theoretically analyze and practically implement basic data structures and algorithms. Students will transition to C++ to explore object-oriented, generic, functional, and concurrent programming before exploring advanced data structures and algorithms involving trees, tables, and graphs. Students will explore systems programming using the POSIX standard library. The course includes a series of programming assignments for students to put the principles they have learned into practice.
