The major goal of this course is for students to develop the computer science skills of algorithm development, problem solving, and programming while using software engineering principles. While the emphasis of the course will be on programming, students will also be introduced to other important topics, such as interface design, the limits of computers, and societal and ethical issues of software engineering.
