This is the foundational programming course for IT majors and the first course for the cyber engineering sequence. Cadets learn fundamental computing concepts that will allow them to design, build and test small to medium programs using a high-level programming language. Key concepts include applying appropriate aspects of a structured problem solving process, applying a standardized design notation such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to communicate their design, and iteratively testing their program.
This course presents a thought-provoking introduction to key computing concepts. Cadets develop their understanding of programming (to include modular design) and problem-solving skills begun in IT105, and build a foundation for further study by focusing on software, data organization, and other topics.
