CECS 174: Programming and Problem Solving I - Course Goals, Objectives, and Topics, Lab Reports of Computer Science

California State University (CSU) - Long BeachComputer Science

The goals, objectives, and topics covered in cecs 174, a university-level course on programming and problem solving using the c++ programming language. The course covers the fundamentals of computer science, structured problem solving, systematic programming methodologies, and programming style. Students will gain knowledge of c++ data types, operators, libraries, and functions, as well as the ability to write and execute c++ programs. Assessment includes midterms, a comprehensive final, programming assignments, and lab exercises.

Introduction to the basic concepts of computer science and the fundamental techniques for solving problems using the C++ programming language. Structured problem solving, systematic programming methodologies, programming style. Applications to numerical and non- numerical problems. (Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 3 hours.) Traditional grading only. I. PREREQUISITE TOPICS  Precalculus Mathematics II. COURSE TOPICS  Introduction to the basic concepts of computer science  Introduction to the fundamental techniques for solving problems using the C++ programming language  Structured problem solving  Systematic programming methodologies  Programming style  Application to numerical and non-numerical problems  C++ data types  Strings - C strings and C++ strings  Selection and repetition statements  Input and output (including short overview of basic File I/O)  Arrays  Functions  Use of C and C++ library functions  Introduction to Structures III. COURSE OBJECTIVES  An understanding of terminology Program, Software, Hardware, memory address, byte, Operating System, CPU, compiler, linking, Algorithm, variables, objects, abstract data type, identifiers, value and reference parameters  Knowledge of  Software Life Cycle  C++ fundamental data types  the structure of C++ programs  the compilation process  testing and debugging a program  structured programming methodology  fundamental data types  C++ operators  C++ programming style  Procedural Abstraction  Scope of variables  Inheritance (in terms of the stream operators only)  An ability to  Write a C++ program dealing that calculates a mathematical formula  Choose appropriate data types for program data

 Declare variables  Assign values to variables  Basic input and output of variables  Program with logical expressions  Structure while, do-while, and for loops  Write conditional statements (if, if-else, compound if-else and switch statements)  Declaring, initializing and accessing cells in an array  Pass an array to a function as a parameter.  Call a function from the C and C++ libraries  Declare a function  Write C++ functions to perform a task.  Write C++ functions that calculate and return values.  Format the output for a C++ program.  Identify member functions from the istream and ostream classes: get(), put(), eof(), fail()  Use the ctype member functions: isalpha(), islower(), isupper(), isdigit(), ispunct(), toupper(), tolower()  Use functions from the C math library  Read and write disk files through a C++ program  Design loops controlled by a counter terminated by a sentinel value terminated by user signal terminated by end of input  Design and write a design sheet for a program  Use strings and the string library functions in a C++ program  Communicate

  • Communicate information through writing design sheets and programs IV. METHODS FOR ASSESSING STUDENT LEARNING The course must not only be taught to these objectives but, must also measure the students' attainment of the objectives. A minimum of 2 midterms and a comprehensive final is required. Please make sure your exams incorporate both writing code and comprehending code segments. A minimum of 8 programming assignments is required, or which at least 4 should be large scale (multi-day) projects. In lab exercises are suggested to make sure the students do some programming every class period. Students must gain access to the CodeLab system for periodic evaluation of programming skills. These three labs may overlap with the programming assignments mentioned above. V. INSTRUCTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES Attend the lab sessions. Assist in 174 assessment by ensuring that students are able to access CodeLab. Please be certain to make available, to the course coordinator and the Undergraduate Curriculum and Assessment Committee, examples of your exams and lab assignments. This is critical to our longitudinal assessment for the accreditation agencies ABET and CSAB.
