COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS CIS-100 Introduction to Computers-A, W,Sp 2 hours An introduction to basic computer hardware, software and applications. Using popular software packages, the emphasis will be on general and personal applications of the computer for the non-business major. (Fee: $10) CIS-220 Computer Information Systems-A, W,Sp 3 hours An overview of computer information systems. The integration and application of computer hardware, software, procedures, systems, and human resources are explored. Emphasis on using spreadsheets, word processing, and database tech– niques. (Fee: $10) CIS-223 Microcomputer Applications-A, 11~Sp 3 hours A study of the use of electronic spreadsheet and database management software in business applications. CIS-124 Computer Programming-BASIC-A, W,Sp 3 hours Principles of computer programming in BASIC. A strong emphasis is placed on the proper design of a computer program using structured programming concepts and techniques. (Fee: $30) CIS-221 FORTRAN Programming-A.Sp 4 hours Problem solving is emphasized as algorithms and techniques useful in practical business and scientific application are introduced in programming arithmetic, logic, and data handling functions. Prerequisite: CIS-124 Computer Programming– BASIC (Fee: $40) CIS-224, CIS-225 COBOL Programming-A, W,Sp 4 hours each quarter The course introduces the basic program structure of a high level programming language as business-oriented programs are prepared and executed. Advanced topics are developed with stress upon more efficient programming techniques, documenta– tion, and structured programming. Prerequisite: CIS-124 Computer Programming– BASIC. (Fee: $40) CIS-326 Systems Analysis-A 4 hours A study that provides an understanding of the duties of the systems analyst together with an understanding of the specific methods and techniques for con– ducting a systems project--from the preliminary investigation of the project through the systems inplementation and evaluation. Prerequisite: CIS-221 FORTRAN Pro– gramming or CIS-224 COBOL Programming. CIS-327 Systems Design-W 4 hours Advanced study of structured systems development. Emphasis on strategies and techniques of structured analysis and structured design for producing logical meth– odologies for dealing with complexity in the development of information systems. Prerequisite: CIS-326 Systems Analysis. CIS-328 Database Development-Sp 4 hours Introduction to application program development in a database environment with an emphasis on loading, modifying and querying the database using a host language (COBOL). Discussion and application of data structures, indexed and direct file organizations, models of data including hierarchial, network, and relational. Prereq– uisite: CIS-224 COBOL Programming. (Fee; $30) CIS-329 Software and Hardware Concepts- W 4 hours A survey of technical topics related to computer systems with emphasis on the relationships between hardware architecture, systems software, and applications software. CIS-420 Programming Languages-A 4 hours Advanced programming concepts using one or more structured languages (selected from Pascal, ADA, Modula 2, C). Theories of program design and implementation. Some discussion of compiler construction. CIS-421 Software Development-Sp 3 hours Application of computer programming and system development concepts, princi– ples and practices to a comprehensive system development project. A team approach is used to analyze, design, and document realistic systems of moderate complexity. Use of project management methods, project scheduling and control techniques, formal presentations, and group dynamics in the solution of information systems problems. Development of database to support the system. Prerequisites: CIS-225 COBOL Programming, CIS-326 Systems Analysis. (Fee: $30)
