• COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

• The Department of Computer Science supports the
  STC Mission Statement and the Division of
  Business, Math, Science and Technology Mission
  Statement by being the "Gateway to Success" for
  our students, employers, and community. The
  future is here! And you can help make it happen
  in a fast-paced, exciting job when you choose a
  career in computer science.
• The rapid spread of computers and technology
  during the last two decades has generated a need
  for highly skilled technicians to design and
  develop hardware and software systems. These
  professionals are generally called computer
  scientists, computer engineers, computer
  programmers, or systems analysts.
• Computer scientists and engineers design
  computers based on research and complex
  technological theories. They may develop
  specialized computer languages, programming tools
  -- even computer games.

MISSION CONTD.

• Systems analysts define business, scientific, or
  engineering problems and design their solutions
  using computers. This might involve planning and
  developing new computer systems or devising ways
  to make existing systems work more efficiently.
• Computer programmers often follow diagrams or
  charts created by systems analysts to implement
  their computer solutions. Programmers also work
  with the analysts once the system has been set up
  to "de-bug" it, or eliminate errors.
• Some employers hire a single worker called a
  programmer-analyst, who is responsible for both
  systems analysis and programming. This is
  becoming more common as more technology is
  designed to solve problems automatically and to
  make programming easier to learn.

COSC 1301 Microcomputer Applications

• This course presents terminology, concepts and
  techniques to begin the study of Computer
  Information Systems. It covers computer history,
  number systems, computer hardware, software,
  procedures, systems and human resources, and
  explores their integration and application in
  business and other segments in society. It also
  includes an introduction to modular program
  design and flowcharts. Emphasis is placed on
  using computer software packages including a word
  processor to process textual information, an
  electronic spreadsheet for numerical information,
  a database management system, a programming
  language and Windows operation system. Using
