Catalog Description
CS-171 is a one-semester introduction to computer
programming, with an emphasis on designing algorithms and implementing those
algorithms using a computer programming language.
This fall, the course design will shift from a perspective
centered around programming and algorithm development as an end to
themselves to a perspective of using the application area of
Media Computation
and communication through media as the
primary vehicle for motivating students and introducing topics central to
Computer Science. CS-171 will introduce programming and computing ideas
through students programming image filters in the manipulation of digital
images, splicing and reversing sounds, creating visualizations of sounds,
and implementing digital video special effects.
This new, thematic, version of the course should appeal to a
broader range of students, including both majors and non-majors, providing
additional relevance and creativity with this new design center. Further,
the use of digital media and media computation will provide concrete
experiences for the the students that will allow them to develop and learn
abstractions based on those experiences.
