[PR] CS105 An Introduction to Computer Concepts MT	W Gong	Jun 1 - Jul 29	W-1-040 Wheatley Bldg - 1st Floor - Room 040	MTuTh	6p - 7:30p	3	1906	$960	Course has been cancelled. For more information, contact 617 287 6200 or read more about our Cancellation Policy.
Description for CS105: This course presents an overview of the role of computers in society; their application and misapplication, their capabilities and limitations. Applications may include artificial intelligence, medical, aerospace and business use of computers. Computer hardware and associated technologies are discussed. Computer programming is taught from a non-mathematical, problem-solving point of view; the course objective is to help students acquire an understanding of the programming process, rather than to develop complex or extended computer programs. This survey course is not part of the computer science major sequence. Students planning to major in computer science should start with CS 110. Prerequisite: MATH 115 or appropriate scores on the Math Placement Test. Permission of department. For more information, please contact the department at 617.287.6440. Academic Information: Credits: 3 Distribution Area: Mathematics. Fee: Course Fee: $960 Lab Fee: $0 Total: $960
[PR] CS110 Introduction to Computing MT	Staff	Jun 1 - Jul 29	M-2-621 McCormack Bldg - 2nd Floor - Room 621	MTuTh	6p - 7:30p	4	1058	$1370	Registration for this session has been closed. For more information, contact 617 287 6200.
Description for CS110: An introduction to computer programmingthe concepts involved in use of a higher level language and the program development process. The goal of this course is proficiency in the design and implementation of programs of significant size and complexity. This course is quite demanding because of the length of the programming exercises assigned. This is the first course in the computer science sequence. CS 110 is taught using the programming language Java. Note: Credit toward a UMass Boston degree may be awarded for only one elementary programming course. No credit will be given for CS 110 to a student who has already completed a similar course. For instance, a student who has received the equivalent of CS 110 as transfer credit cannot take CS 110 for credit here. Students who are barred from receiving credit for CS 110, but who are not fully prepared for CS 210, should request permission to take CS 119 (below) as a means of remedying the deficiency. Prerequisite: Passed MATH 140 or appropriate scores on the Math Placement Test. Academic Information: Credits: 4 Distribution Area: Mathematics. Fee: Course Fee: $1320 Lab Fee: $50 Total: $1370
[PR] CS114L Introduction To Java MT	Staff	Jun 1 - Jul 29	M-2-417 McCormack Bldg - 2nd Floor - Room 417	MTuTh	6p - 7:30p	3	1907	$1050	Registration for this session has been closed. For more information, contact 617 287 6200.
Description for CS114L: An introductory course in Java programming that exposes students to the concepts involved in using a higher-level, object-oriented programming language. The course will explain the program development process and give students lots of hands-on experience writing small Java programs. The course serves as a prerequisite to other IT courses. Prerequisite: MATH 129 or MATH 130, or appropriate scores on the Math Placement exam. Academic Information: Credits: 3 Distribution Area: Mathematics. Fee: Course Fee: $1000 Lab Fee: $50 Total: $1050
[PR] CS210L Intermediate Computing with Data Structures MT	Staff	Jun 1 - Jul 29	M-1-210 McCormack Bldg - 1st Floor - Room 210	MTuTh	6p - 7:30p	4	1468	$1370	Registration for this session has been closed. For more information, contact 617 287 6200.
Description for CS210L: The design and implementation of computer programs in a high-level language, with emphasis on proper design principles and advanced programming concepts, including dynamic data structures and recursion. The assignments are designed to introduce the student to a variety of topics in computing: data structures and ADTs, Lists, Stacks, Queues, Ordered Lists, Binary Trees, and searching and sorting techniques. The language of instruction is Java. Prerequisite: CS 110 or CS 115L. Academic Information: Credits: 4 Distribution Area: Mathematics. Fee: Course Fee: $1320 Lab Fee: $50 Total: $1370
[PR] CS240 Programming in C	Staff	Jun 1 - Jul 29	M-1-210 McCormack Bldg - 1st Floor - Room 210	MTuTh	7:45p - 9:15p	3	1415	$1050	Registration for this session has been closed. For more information, contact 617 287 6200.
Description for CS240: C programming for programmers with prior knowledge of some high-level language (e.g., one semester of programming in Java). The course treats C as a machine-level language and as a general-purpose language; it covers number representation, masking, bitwise operations, and memory allocation, as well as more general topics such as dynamic data structures, file I/O, separate compilation, program development tools, and debugging. Prerequisite: CS 110 or CS 115L. Corequisite: CS 210L. Academic Information: Credits: 3 Fee: Course Fee: $1000 Lab Fee: $50 Total: $1050
