A Proposal to Create 2 New Introductory Courses in the Computer 
Science Department

Add to UNCA Catalog: 1986-7 pg. 87:


     CSCI 201   "Introduction to Algorithm Design" (3)
     
                  Problem solving and algorithm
                  development; Data and procedural abstraction; use of 
                  a modern, block structured programming language. 
                  (ACM CS1) Prerequiste: Placement in MATH 163 or equivalent.
     

     
     CSCI 202   "Introduction to Data Structures" (3)
     
                  Data structures ( lists, stacks,
                  queues, and trees ); Searching and sorting algorithms; 
                  Use of a modern, block structured programming language. 
                  (ACM CS2) Prerequisite: CSCI 201
     


    Rationale : To bring the Computer Science introductory curriculum into 
                its discipline's mainstream and to permit it to upgrade the 
                level of other courses by giving our students a 
                solid background at the introductory level. These 
                two courses form a year-long first course in the
                same manner as introductory courses in other sciences.
