Computer Applications, Computer Networking and Computer Information Science 127 OLE, Access, and Powerpoint. Computer concepts, systems, and components will be studied. BEFORE ENROLLING students should be able to complete an accounting worksheet, prepare a balance sheet and income statement from a worksheet, and compute depreciation. Students should also have knowledge of the following accounting concepts: receivables, payables, inventory, payroll, and the accounting cycle. This course approved for online instruction. Refer to current schedule of classes for availability. [CAN BUS 6] (CSU, UC, AVC) CA 199 *WORK EXPERIENCE 1-4 units hours vary Prerequisite: Students must be registered in at least 7 units (including the Work Experience units) and have approval of instructor supervising work experience subject area. Prior to enrolling, students must attend a scheduled orientation. The Work Experience program provides supervised employment extending classroom-based learning to an on-the-job learning situation. Students meet with instructor by arrangement to discuss learning objectives, along with experi- ences and/or problems arising on the job. (CSU, AVC) (R3) Computer Information Science Courses (Engineering and science majors consult counselors) CIS 101 *INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER INFORMATION SCIENCE 3 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 099, READ 099 and MATH 102. Introduction to the theory and practice of automated data processing. Emphasizes electronic data processing, including input/output operations and devices, data and data-recording media, programming techniques, programming languages, and systems concepts. Information will be given on microcomputers and small computer systems. The course will review typical software programs for micro- computers such as word processing, graphics and electronic spreadsheets. Approximately one-third of the course will be devoted to hands -on program ming on a microcomputer. (Engineering and science majors consult counselors) This course approved for online instruction. Refer to current schedule of classes for availability. [CAN CSCI 2] (CSU, UC, AVC) CIS 101L *INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER INFORMATION SCIENCE LAB 0 units Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment in CIS 101. This zero-unit, no-cost, no-grade course provides access to the open computer lab to help students complete course assignments and master learning objectives. CIS 111 *INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING AND ALGORITHMS 3 units 4 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of CA 103 or CA 221 or CIS 101, and Eligibility for ENGL 099, READ 099 and MATH 102. This is a first course for students planning or exploring a career in software design and development. This course emphasizes a careful, disciplined approach to computer programming. Problem solving through stepwise development of algorithms is presented. Students will learn programming language, syntax, coding, program logic, and program testing. Students will plan, create, test and run their own programs to solve typical problems. BEFORE ENROLLING students should have basic computer experience and be able to save and retrieve files, run applications, and print documents. (Engineering and science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC, 2+2) CIS 113 *DATA STRUCTURES 3 units 4 hours weekly Course Prerequisite: Completion of CIS 111 or CIS 161. Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 099, READ 099 and MATH 130, and Completion of CIS 121. This course is an introduction to the application of data structures in problem solving. Topics include set operators and manipulations, text and user defined file types, searching algorithms, sorting algorithms, recursion, linked lists, queues, stacks, binary trees, and graphs. Students plan and create programs using data structures to solve problems frequently encountered by professional computer scientists. (Engineering and science majors consult counselors) (CSU, UC, AVC, 2+2) CIS 121 *COMPUTER MATHEMATICS 3 units 3 hours weekly Advisory: Completion of MATH 130 or MATH 140, and Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 099 or satisfactory completion of ENGL I 01. This is an introductory course in the areas of mathematics applicable to computer science. Topics include logic and circuits, sets, mathematical induction, graphs, trees, algorithm development and refinement, and computational models like finite state automata and Turing machines. Emphasis is placed on problem solving and application of mathematical theory to data structures, and data base construction and operation.
