Overview

This computer series concentrates on C++ and Object Oriented Programming. Students may take this series as a non-degree student and will be granted a certificate at the successful completion of the series.

Who Should Attend?

High-level technicians, engineers, etc.

Faculty/Facilitators

These courses are taught by MSOE faculty members.

Schedule/Course Descriptions

Classes meet one night a week for 11 weeks.

MS-3812 C++ Programing for Business (3 Credits)
The object-oriented programmer is introduced to the syntax and semantics of the C++ porgramming language. Students write several programs exploring basic techniques covering the concepts of: C++ expressions, data types, program documentation and comenting style. Data structures and algorithms from the Standard Template Library are introduced, along with the basic object model concept and the canonical form of class authorship. (prereq: MS-373, MS-3803)

MS-3832 Advanced C++ Programming for Business (3 Credits)
The second course in C++ is a continuation of the first course, with more emphasis on some of the topics covered briefly in the earlier course. In-depth coverage of proper object-oriented programming using C++ is presented. Topics include classes, operator and function overloading, copy constructors, descructors and good OOA techniques. (prereq: MS-3812)

CS-2851 Data Structures
This course covers the organization of data and the algorithms that act upon them. The topics of stacks, queues, trees and sets are introduced. Fundamentals of algorithm performance are also introduced, with an emphasis placed on time complexity analysis. Applications to data structure searching and sorting, memory allocation and file management are included. Laboratory activities include the application of data structures from standard libraries.
