Description:	This course provides an introduction to object-oriented design for computer science majors and computer engineering transfer students. Students will use the Java programming language to explore the following concepts: simple data types, control structures an introduction to array and string data structures and algorithms debugging techniques history of computer science, computer systems and environments the social implications of computing. The course emphasizes object-oriented design, good software engineering principles and developing fundamental programming skills. Course conforms to the ACM CS0 standards.
Objective	To familarize the student with concepts relating to the development of computer software To expose the student to introductory design techniques which facilitate problem solving and enhance programming style To introduce the student to language constructs commonly used in programming To lay foundation of essential software engineering practices in preparation for more complex program development
