Basic computer organization including the von Neumann architecture, the instruction cycle, parts of a CPU (central processing unit), pipeling, memory hierarchy, and interrupt handling. Representation of numerical and non-numerical data. Overview and simulation of the hardware building blocks that make up the general computer organization, CPU and RAM. Translation to assembly code from high-level constructs such as if statements, loops, and function calls.

Introduction to using the Unix/Linux operating system. Unix/Linux file management and common text processing utilities including searching.

This course covers programming fundamentals using the C++ language, using procedural and object-oriented approaches to problem solving. Topics include structured elements, classes, objects, references, dynamic memory allocation, inheritance, polymorphism, arrays, pointers, files, design and implementation of abstract data types, in numerical and non-numerical applications.

The administration of a Linux server. Prepares students for industry certification and entry-level employment in system administration. Topics include process control, system monitoring, filesystem preparation and maintenance, logical volumes, basic servers and the firewall, virtual machines, startup and shutdown, user accounts, periodic tasks, security issues, and installations.

Analyze, design, write, test, and debug shell scripts. Students learn basic shell scripting techniques and develop scripting skills needed for Unix/Linux System Administration courses. The bash shell is used.

The analysis and design of computer algorithms and their underlying data structures. Analysis of the timing and efficiency of algorithms. Study of lists, stacks, queues, trees, backtracking, searching, sorting and recursion. Introduction to graphs, hash tables, heaps, priority queues and direct access files. Further study of abstract data types and object-oriented programming.
