2454 Computer Lab
This course introduces the student, through hands-on operation, to the use of microcomputers. The class may include basic word processing operations, such as terminology and screen formats, text editing, saving and retrieving, and printing text.
2450 Computer Literacy
This introductory course in computers is designed to acquaint the students with techniques for using computers. Students learn key entry skills in order to use simple word processors, mathematical or database applications, and simple graphics programming. When school resources allow, teachers may introduce students to the Internet, where they learn about different search engines, e-mail, and the variety of educational resources on the Internet.
2451 Computer Programming
This course covers the principles and programming styles used in the design and implementation of contemporary programming languages. Students are introduced to the history of programming languages, language syntax and formal grammars, language processors such as compilers and interpreters, and generalized parsing strategies. The course focuses on particular language constructs and their realization in a variety of programming languages. A particular language such as C, BASIC, or Pascal is used to provide students with practical illustrations of various programming principles.
2453 Computer Science
A generalized computer course that acquaints students with problem-solving methods, algorithm development, structured programming, and modular system design. Students are taught about abstract data structures, techniques for data manipulation and other fundamental concepts, such as recursion. Computer coding and program structure are often introduced using BASIC or another computer language such as C or Pascal. The course may provide opportunities to apply the learned skills to relevant applications, such as modeling, data management, graphics, and text processing. Students learn about computer organization, from digital logic and microprogramming through machine and assembly language.
2455 Web Design
This course introduces students to the Internet and World Wide Web. Students will study the history of the Internet, search engines, Web design process, navigation strategies, creation and editing of graphics, Web hosting services, and Web publishing.
2458 Other Computer Education Course (including combinations of above)
This designation is for any computer education course not identified in the series of courses outlined on the CBEDS assignment code list.
