4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
(formerly CSI 163 - Computer Science 1)

This course meets the Computer Technology General Education Requirement.

Use fundamental design principles and problem-solving techniques introduced in CTP 115 to develop computer algorithms. Implement algorithms as programs coded in Java, an object-oriented programming language. Learn the data types, control structures, classes, arrays, and I/O in the Java programming language. Learn graphical user interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, recursion, and exceptions. Emphasize style, documentation, solution robustness, and conformance with specifications throughout course work. Lab fee $25.

Prerequisite(s): CTP 115 or CTP 115H or permission of computer science department chair.

Crosslisted: Also offered as CTP 150H. Credit is not given for both CTP 150 and CTP 150H.

Note: CTP 115 prerequisite is waived for students that complete AP Computer Science. Credit is not given for both CTP 150 and CSI 161 or CSI 162.
