CST 094 - Programming Concepts


An entry-level course teaches students how to think algorithmically and solve problems efficiently.  Students learn to update, repair, modify, and expand existing programs, and progress to perform analysis, design, and development of new programs.  The programmer converts a computer-solution design or design change into a logical series of instructions for the computer using a current programming language such as Python.
