STATEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES: The student will learn the effective use of the C programming language syntax to develop special programs, and provide I/O control for special applications. The student will use both the integrated environment development system and command line compilation.
BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES: The students' abilities will be demonstrated by exams and programming reports. Six reports and two mid-term exams and one final exam are required for the completion of the course. The six reports will cover all aspects of the C syntax that is included in the course outline.
