Course Description

ICS 211 reinforces and strengthens problem-solving skills using abstract data types and introduces software development practices. ICS 211 emphasizes the use of searching and sorting algorithms and their complexity, recursion, object-oriented programming, and data structures.

Student Learning Outcomes

At the completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Use and implement abstract data types such as lists, stacks, queues, and trees.
  2. Select the appropriate searching or sorting algorithm based on the algorithm’s behavior.
  3. Develop recursive algorithms and programs.
  4. Use standard libraries or packages as well as advanced object-oriented programming techniques (polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation).
  5. Produce robust and secure programs using exception handling and extensive program testing.
