COURSE DESCRIPTION:

CSET 4250 Applied Programming Languages. [3 semester credit hours (3-0-0)]. How to select the most appropriate language for a specific engineering technology application. Topics include comparison of programming languages by evolution, formal specifications, structures, features, application domains, programming paradigms, implementation of syntax, semantics and program run-time behavior. Prerequisite: Associate degree in engineering technology or equivalent.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. Students will be able to provide information about the design of programming languages and their translators.
2. Students will learn the basics of several common programming language approaches, e.g., procedural, object-oriented, functional.
3. Students will learn the basic elements of the major existent programming languages, e.g., Pascal, C/C++, Java, Prolog, FORTRAN, LISP.
4. Students will write simple programs in each language covered.
5. Students will gain experience sufficient to determine the programming language best suited to a specific application.
