| INFORMATION& COMPUTER SCIENCES (ICS) COURSES |
| ICS100: Computing Literacy and Applications |
| Credits: 3 |
| ICS 100 is an introductory survey of computers and their role in the information world emphasizing computing terminology, hardware, and software. Opportunities for “hands on” experience using applications software may include spreadsheets, word processing, presentations, and communications. |
| Prereq: -, Coreq: - |
| ICS101: Digital Tools for the Information World |
| Credits: 3 |
| ICS 101 provides fundamental information technology concepts and computing terminology, productivity software for problem solving, computer technology trends and impact on individuals and society. Emphasizes the utilization of operating systems and the production of professional documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and web pages. |
| Prereq: -, Coreq: - |
| ICS110: Introduction to Object Oriented Visual Programming |
| Credits: 3 |
| ICS 110 is an introduction to programming with user-friendly software (e.g., Android Application Inventor). Students use storyboarding design strategies to create mobile device animations and/or simple games with objects using block coding methods. These projects promote an understanding of basic object oriented programming constructs through the use of a drag and drop interface that manipulates device resources and readily available APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Introductory projects based on contemporary and personal interests for students with or without programming experience will be emphasized. |
| Prereq: -, Coreq: - |
