Instructors: Roberts, E. (PI)

CS 74N: Digital Dilemmas

Preference to freshmen. Issues where policy decision making requires understanding computer and communications technology. Technology basics taught in non-technology terms. Topics include consumer privacy, government surveillance, file sharing and intellectual property, and electronic voting.
Last offered: Autumn 2013 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci

CS 75N: Cell Phones, Sensors, and You

Focuses on the role of cell phones as the first prevalent wearable sensors that gather information about you that can be both useful and potentially harmful. Topics include the state of technology, sociological and privacy implications, potential governmental regulation, etc. Addresses omniscient "big brother" technology including radar guns and the recording devices that led to the Watergate scandal. Students will gather and compile information on topics and come to class ready to discuss and debate with formulated opinions.

CS 101: Introduction to Computing Principles

Introduces the essential ideas of computing: data representation, algorithms, programming "code", computer hardware, networking, security, and social issues. Students learn how computers work and what they can do through hands-on exercises. In particular, students will see the capabilities and weaknesses of computer systems so they are not mysterious or intimidating. Course features many small programming exercises, although no prior programming experience is assumed or required. CS101 is not a complete programming course such as CS106A. CS101 is effectively an alternative to CS105. A laptop computer is recommended for the in-class exercises.

CS 105: Introduction to Computers

For non-technical majors. What computers are and how they work. Practical experience in programming. Construction of computer programs and basic design techniques. A survey of Internet technology and the basics of computer hardware. Students in technical fields and students looking to acquire programming skills should take 106A or 106X. Students with prior computer science experience at the level of 106 or above require consent of instructor. Prerequisite: minimal math skills.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3-5 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-FR
Instructors: Young, P. (PI) ; Marks, M. (TA) ; Truong, K. (TA) ; Whittington, Z. (TA)

CS 106A: Programming Methodology (ENGR 70A)

Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language. No prior programming experience required. Summer quarter enrollment is limited.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3-5 | UG Reqs: WAY-FR, GER:DB-EngrAppSci

CS 106B: Programming Abstractions (ENGR 70B)

Abstraction and its relation to programming. Software engineering principles of data abstraction and modularity. Object-oriented programming, fundamental data structures (such as stacks, queues, sets) and data-directed design. Recursion and recursive data structures (linked lists, trees, graphs). Introduction to time and space complexity analysis. Uses the programming language C++ covering its basic facilities. Prerequisite: 106A or equivalent. Summer quarter enrollment is limited.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3-5 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-FR

CS 106X: Programming Abstractions (Accelerated) (ENGR 70X)

Intensive version of 106B for students with a strong programming background interested in a rigorous treatment of the topics at an accelerated pace. Additional advanced material and more challenging projects. Prerequisite: excellence in 106A or equivalent, or consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 3-5 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-FR
Instructors: Cain, J. (PI) ; Cranor, T. (PI) ; Lee, C. (PI) ; Goodman, I. (TA)

CS 107: Computer Organization and Systems

Introduction to the fundamental concepts of computer systems. Explores how computer systems execute programs and manipulate data, working from the C programming language down to the microprocessor. Topics covered include: the C programming language, data representation, machine-level code, computer arithmetic, elements of code compilation, memory organization and management, and performance evaluation and optimization. Prerequisites: 106B or X, or consent of instructor.
