This course covers the fundamentals of computer problem solving and programming. Topics include: program development process, differences between the object-oriented, structured, and functional programming methodologies, phases of language translation (compiling, interpreting, linking, executing), and error conditions associated with each phase, primitive data types, memory representation, variables, expressions, assignment, fundamental programming constructs (sequence, selection, iteration), algorithms for solving simple problems, tracing execution, subprograms/functions/methods, parameter passing, secure coding techniques (criteria for selection of a specific type and use, input data validation), and professional behavior in response to ethical issues inherent in computing.

This course examines solid state electronic devices. Devices covered include diodes, bipolar transistors, and field effect transistors. The theory of operation, biasing, stabilization, frequency response, distortion, and gain are analyzed using mathematical analysis, equivalent circuits, and computer models.

This course is the study of analog and digital communication concepts and systems. Students begin by learning the terminology and measurements used in the communication industry. The course includes analysis of AM, and FM transmission and reception, Single-Sideband communications, Digital Wired and Wireless Communications, Network Communications, and Multiplexing and De-multiplexing techniques. Emphasis is on the system approach with block diagrams, with the presentation of theoretical fundamentals and study of the concepts within each diagram. The associated laboratory and projects augment the lecture theory. Students investigate further by completing an individual project.
