CMSC 104 Problem Solving and Computer Programming 3 credits
|
Hybrid Course - This course is designed to prepare students for CMSC 201 by providing an introduction to computer programming that does not require prior programming experience. Students will be taught the basic use of a programming environment and the basic elements of the C programming language (including loops, control statements and arrays). This course also introduces general computer science concepts such as operating systems, computer organization, computer architecture, data representation and memory usage. Note: This course does not fulfill any of the computer science major requirements. Students who have taken and received transfer credit for, or who are taking concurrently any computer programming course in a high-level programming language will not receive credit for CMSC 104. The list of such computer programming courses includes, but is not limited to: CMSC 103, 106, 109, 201, 202 and sections of 291 that cover programming topics. For more information contact burt@csee.umbc.edu.

CMSC 313 Computer Organization and Assembly 3 credits
Language Programming
|
This course covers the basics of computer organization with emphasis on the lower-level abstraction of a computer system, including digital logic, instruction set and assembly language programming. Topics include data representation; logic gates; simplification of logical expressions; design and analysis of simple combinational circuit, such as decoders and multiplexers, flip-flops and registers; design and analysis of simple synchronous sequential circuit, random-access and read-only memories; instruction set architecture; and programming in assembly language. Prerequisites: CMSC 202 and 203. For more information contact burt@csee.umbc.edu.

CMSC 331 Principles of Programming Language 3 credits
|
Hybrid Course - This course examines the semantics of programming languages. Topics include formal specifications of syntax, declarations, binding, allocation, data structures, data types, control structures, control and data flow, and the implementation and execution of programs and functional programming versus imperative programming. Other possible topics include non-procedural and logic programming, object-oriented programming and program verification. Programming projects will provide experience in several languages. Prerequisite: CMSC 202. For more information see www.gl.umbc.edu/~vick/331 or contact vick@csee.umbc.edu.

CMSC 437 Graphical User Interface Programming 3 credits
|
This is a practical, hands-on course in how to program interactive 2D graphical user interfaces using the X11/ Motif package and OpenGL. Graphical user interfaces are taken here to mean not just standard widget sets, but also various interactive, pointer-based techniques that comprise the modern desktop metaphor. This course will also introduce some of the concepts and software techniques used to implement such applications. In addition, it will briefly review some of the larger issues, history and future directions of programming graphical interfaces. While the primary emphasis of the course is on 2D interfaces, there will be a short introduction to some of the 3D capabilities of OpenGL, as well as a discussion of 3D interaction and virtual reality. Prerequisite: CMSC 341 and MATH 221. For more information see www.csee.umbc.edu/~squire/cs437.shtml or contact squire@umbc.edu.
