Computer Science-Coding

Advanced Certificate

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Advanced Certificate in

Computer Science - Coding is

designed to educate students that

already have a degree and are

looking for career opportunities in

any organization that needs to

provide customized software

support or needs to be able to

manipulate data. Through this

certificate a student will better

understand the structure and

programs necessary for software manipulation, database management,

data mining, or website development.

Students will receive a solid foundation in a variety of different

programming languages; writing the instruction sets that allow the end

user to interact with the computer or electronic device. Whether it is

gaming, interactive applications or a webpage, it all starts with the code.

Students start with basic interactive code, creating webpages and then

learning how this relates to object-oriented coding. They will also be

exposed to cloud computing and how it relates to coding and the future

of electronic media.

Graduates are prepared to assume a variety of positions such as: desktop

support, help desk technician, network installer, network technician,

network administrator, information security, network security, and

technology trainer.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the Advanced Certificate in Computer Science -

Coding, the graduate is prepared to:

apply core software development processes at a conceptual level

for a given problem;

compare and contrast development methodologies;

explain the relevance of ethics in the context of software

development;

examine software project management principles and techniques;

create a system design (the Solution model) that supports the

functional requirements (FRs);

analyze system requirements to determine Structural Modeling.
