Introduction to Computing: A Design and Development Perspective

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

Programming and problem solving using Python. Emphasizes principles of software development, style, and testing. Topics include procedures and functions, iteration, recursion, arrays and vectors, strings, an operational model of procedure and function calls, algorithms, exceptions, object-oriented programming. Weekly labs provide guided practice on the computer, with staff present to help. 

When Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.

Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will not receive credit for both CS 1110 and CS 1112. Students may not enroll in CS 1110 if they have taken or are also enrolled in CS 2110/ENGRD 2110, CS 2112, or have taken or are currently enrolled in a course offered or cross-listed with a CS number 3000 or above. (Students looking to learn Python rather than learn how to program should take CS 1133 instead.) Students who have affiliated with the computer-science major may not enroll.

Distribution Category (SMR-AS)

    Students in CS 1110 can register for an optional 1.0-credit Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW) to support their learning. AEWs are collaborative two-hour weekly problem-solving sessions led by peer educators who have previously taken this course. AEWs are designed to enhance understanding and deeper comprehension; you do not need to be an Engineering student to enroll. Grading is S/U. Search “ENGRG 1010” in the course catalog to learn more and enroll.
