CS 044 Computer Skills For Preparatory Programs

"Applied Track (2)" 3 3

Prepared by: Ahmed Marzouq Alotaibi

e-mail: [email protected]

This is an introductory course in the first/second semester of the preparatory program in applied track and designed

to provide basic knowledge for solving problems using computers and to impart the necessary skills for the

development of applications. This course is a one semester course which meets three hours a week. The time is

divided between lecture and hands-on work in the computer laboratory. After Successful completion of the course,

the students should be able to:

• Gain knowledge about problem solving in computers, with the help of problem organization tools .

• Understand the modular concepts in programming and develop algorithms using sequential and decision logic

structures.

• Understand and develop algorithms using various loop logic structures.

• Obtain knowledge in using various types of arrays and applying the same in searching and sorting

methodologies.

• Gain basic knowledge in handling file system in computers.
