CSCI 136 : Computer Science II

Course exposes students to the software development life cycle with a focus on the concepts and use of the object-oriented paradigm in problem analysis, solution design, software development and implementation.  This course is designed to enhance the student's ability to engineer software that is efficient, maintainable and cost efficient over its entire life cycle. Data abstraction is discussed in depth and students gain experience in the use of classes, object and member functions.  Students gain an understanding of the development of reusable abstract data types.  Software reuse is emphasized and object-oriented concepts are used throughout the course. O-notation and the complexity of algorithms are discussed at relevant points in the course
