AUCSC 401 - Professional Practicum I

3 units (fi 6)(VAR, VARIABLE)

A four-month work experience placement focused on gaining practical experience in software development and/or information systems, and an appreciation of the demands and responsibilities of the computing profession. Upon completion of the work experience term, the student must submit a report to the Department which summarizes, evaluates, and reflects on the work performed and the knowledge and experience gained during the placement. Prerequisites: At least 18 units in Computing Science, third-year standing, and consent of the Department. Note: Participation in the practicum is by application only, and is restricted to Computing Science majors.

AUCSC 111 - Introduction to Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-3)

An introduction to computational thinking, problem solving, and the fundamental ideas of computing. Topics include algorithms, abstraction, and modelling; the syntax and semantics of a high-level language (e.g. Python); fundamental programming concepts and data structures, including simple containers (variables, arrays, lists, strings, dictionaries); sequencing, conditionals and repetition; documentation and style; object-oriented programming; exceptions and error handling; graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming; recursion; simple algorithm analysis and run- time efficiency. Prerequisite: Mathematics 30-1. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUCSC 111 or AUCSC 113 (2023).

AUCSC 370 - Programming Languages

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-1.5)

Principles of language design, abstraction, syntax and parsing, operational semantics (declaration, allocation, evaluation, run-time environment, typing, and activation), and programming language paradigms (procedural, object- oriented, functional, and logic programming). Prerequisites: AUCSC 112, or AUCSC 211 (2024) and AUSCI 235 (2024); and AUCSC 250 and AUMAT 250.

AUSCI 385A - Mentoring in Computing and Mathematics

1.5 units (fi 6)(VAR, 0-0-3)

This course involves tutoring students learning first-year material in mathematics and computing science for 3 hours per week in the Math & Computing Support Centre (MCSC). Tutors will also receive coaching from the MCSC Director in how best to perform their duties. Prerequisites: 15 units in MAT or CSC and third-year standing.

AUCSC 112 - Data Structures and Algorithms

AUCSC 250 - Computer Organization and Architecture I

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-1.5)

Introduction to computer systems as multilevel machines. Topics include data representation; the organization and execution cycle of Von Neumann machines; assembly-level programming, addressing modes, control flow, procedure calls, input/output, interrupts, caching; finite state machines, Boolean algebra, logic gates, and digital circuits. Prerequisite: AUCSC 112, or AUCSC 211 (2024) and AUSCI 235 (2024). Corequisite: AUMAT 250.

AUCSC 320 - Software Engineering II

3 units (fi 6)(SECOND, 0-4.5L-0)

Detailed study of software development processes, life cycles, and tools, especially object-oriented methods. Team work is emphasized in the completion of a large software project, from problem definition through to maintenance. Prerequisite: AUCSC 220.
