1991-1992 Academic Catalog
Business Education BSED-347 Materials in Business Subjects-A 2 hours A study ofthe materials used in teaching business subjects in high school. BSED-348 Clinical Teaching-Business-A, w; Sp 1-3 how-s A clinical experience required of teacher education students. The course includes sixty-six clock-hours of on-campus experiences that are analogous to secondary school teaching. These experiences are arranged by the department and are supervised and evaluated as part of teacher-training requirements. They may be taken in one, two, or three credit hour segments. Computer Information Systems CIS-1110 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 forthe non-business major. (Fee: $10) CIS-124 Computer Programming-BASIC-A 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-220 Computer Information Systems-A, W, Sp 3 hours An overview of computer information systems. The integration and application of com– puter hardware, software. procedures, systems, and human resources are explored. Emphasis on using spreadsheets, word processing, and database techniques. (Fee: $10) CIS-221FORTRANProgramming-Sp 4hours 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. (Fee: $40) CIS-222 Structured Programming-Sp 4 hours Structured programming concepts are developed through programming assignments in a high level language. The program development process, top down design, stepwise refine– ment, as well as the analysis of algorithms and data structures will be used to develop sound problem-solving techniques. Intended to be the first programming course for CIS majors. (Fee: $30) CIS-223 MicrocomputerApplications-Sp 3 hours A study of the use of electronic spreadsheet and database management software in busi– ness applications. (Fee: $30) CIS-224, 225 COBOL Programming-A, W 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, documentation, and structured pro– gramming. Prerequisite: CIS-222 Structured Programming. (Fee: $40) CIS-326 SystemsAnalysis-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 conducting a systems project - from the preliminary investigation of the project through the systems implementation and evaluation. Prerequisite: CIS-221 FORTRAN Programming or CIS-224 COBOL Programming. BusinessAdministration 81 CIS-327 Systems Design- W 4 hours Advanced study of structured systems development Emphasis on strategies and tech– niques of structured analysis and structured design for producing logical methodologies 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 em– phasis 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. Prerequisite: CIS-224 COBOL Program– ming. (Fee: $30) CIS-329 Software and Hardware Concepts-A 4 how-s A survey of technical topics related to computer systems with emphasis on the relation– ships between hardware architecture, systems software, and applications software. (Alternate years) CIS-330 Data Structures-Sp 4 hours A variety of data types and structures such as arrays, sets, records, stack queues. linked lists, trees and graphs will be discussed and demonstrated through programming exercises in a high level language. Applications to searching and sorting algorithms will be investigated. Prerequisite: CIS-222 Structured Programming. (Fee: $10) 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 discus- sion of compiler construction. (Fee: $30) (Alternate years) CIS-421 Software Development- W 3 hours Application of computer programming and system development concepts, principles and practices to a comprehensive system development project. A team approach is used to ana– lyze, design. and document realistic systems of moderate complexity. Use ofproject manage– ment 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 Analy– sis. (Fee: $30) Economics ECON-231 Macroeconomics-A, W 4 hours That area of economic study that focuses on how human behavior affects outcomes in highly aggregated markets. such as the market for labor, or for consumer products. It is a study of the behavior of the economy as a whole, including the study of such economic phenomena as interest rates. the price level and national income, output and employment. ECON-232 Microeconomics-W, Sp 4 hours That area of economic inquiry that is concerned with the effect of human behavior on the conduct of affairs within rather narrowly defined units. It is the study of decision making regarding consumption. production, and exchange which is carried on by individual house– holds and by business firms.
