Computer
Science I & II
- I) Introduction to engineering
problem solving (EPS), including problem decomposition, design and implementation
of solutions, testing those solutions and integrating pieces of solutions
together. Java is the language used; it is an object-oriented programming
language that was designed for developing systems from reusable components.
Programming assignments are an integral part of the course.
- II) Data structures, such
as queues, trees and arrays. Designing a solution to a problem by reusing
existing components and by creating new components using inheritance.

M Programming
- An in-depth study of the
M programming language and its database capabilities. Programming projects
are required and are taken from the health care field. Direct mode,
local/global/special variables, commands, arguments, operators, writing
and executing routines, M editors, screen/printer formatting, string
manipulation, pattern matching, concatenation, arrays and trees, multilevel
and string subscripts, input/output using devices, cross reference files,
indirection.

Internet,
Java, and Healthcare
- An introduction to the Internet
as a vehicle for accessing medical information. A study of the Java
object-oriented programming language for developing both stand-alone
medical applications and interactive applets to be run on the Internet
with animation and full multi-media. Applications will include computer
simulations, interactive models, teaching tools, and more. Weekly computer
assignments demonstrate the use of Java and the Internet in applications
from health care.

covers visual basic syntax.Topics include elementary data types, control
structures, procedures and functions, arrays, user defined types, external
files and intrinsic controls.The second half focuses on the fundamentals
of object oriented programming.Topics include classes, objects, composition,
inheritance, collections, object-oriented design and the application
of these concepts to solve problems of intermediate complexity.
