CSE-Computer Science and Engineering

CSE 2 Computer Literacy

Introduction to how computers work and how to use them. Topics covered include network information systems, text editors, formatting, file and directory system, spreadsheets and databases. Computers as symbol manipulation devices. Introduction to programming concepts and computer languages. Impact of computers on society. Designed for students with little or no experience using computers. Preference is given to students who have not taken other computer engineering or computer science courses. Students cannot receive credit for this course and Computer Engineering 3. (Formerly Computer Science 2.)

PE-T

CSE 11 Intermediate Programming

Continuation of course 5J. Covers basic object-oriented programming, event-driven programming, graphical user interface (GUI) creation, recursion, two-dimensional arrays. The two-quarter sequence courses 5J and 11 cover in two quarters the same material as the accelerated introductory course and lab 12A/L cover in one quarter. Students cannot receive credit this course and course 12A. (Formerly CMPS 11.)

CSE 14 Introduction to Programming (Accelerated)

Accelerated introduction to programming. Students write medium-sized programs. Topics include: functions; conditionals and loops; classes; event-driven programming and graphic user interfaces (GUIs); recursion; and arrays. Students who have no or very limited programming experience should consider courses 5J and 11 which cover the same material in two quarters. Students may not receive credit for both this course and course 11. Some prior programming experience in a language such as C, C++, Java, or C# strongly recommended. (Formerly CMPS 12A.)

Prerequisite(s): MATH 3, MATH 11A, MATH 19A, AM 3, AM 11A or ECON 11A, or a score of 400 or higher on the mathematics placement examination (MPE). Concurrent enrollment in CSE 14L is required.

CSE 14L Computer Programming Laboratory

Laboratory sequence complementing topics taught in course 12A by providing training and exposure to several software development tools and practices not covered in course 14. In addition, the lab provides an initial exposure to a second programming language to reinforce concepts from course 14. (Formerly CMPS 12L.)

CSE 15 Introduction to Data Structures

Teaches students to implement common data structures and the algorithms associated with each data structure, through progressively difficult exercises. Topics include big O notation; pointers, recursion (induction), and dynamic allocation; linked lists and list processing; stacks, queues, binary trees and binary search trees; simple sorting techniques and simple search techniques. Students will gain a working knowledge of the elements of the Java and C programming languages. Prior experience with Unix is assumed. (Formerly Computer Science 12B.)
