This course is an introduction to algorithmic problem solving. Every electronic and software product you use was developed using such concepts as a basis. However, more importantly, the strategies of design and reduction (breaking problems down into their components) are applicable in any discipline you choose to pursue.

The primary learning objectives are as follows:

• Intermediate knowledge of algorithmic problem solving
• Introductory knowledge of program design
• Introductory knowledge of object-based programming
• Introductory knowledge of object-oriented programming
• Introductory knowledge of event-driven programming
• Intermediate knowledge of control flow and program structure
• Introductory knowledge of computer graphics
