COURSE DESCRIPTION:

EET - 3150 UNIX, C AND THE INTERNET. 4 semester credit hours.(3-3-0). In this course students will learn how to programin the C language using UNIX-based workstations in anetworked environment. Internet concepts, including client-server computing and multimedia technology, will also becovered. Prerequisite: Associate degree in engineeringtechnology or equivalent.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. The student will develop competency in computer-related knowledge and skills which support academic and professional technical pursuits and are of immediate value to students.
2. The student should be able to employ UNIX-based workstations to increase his/her productivity and effectiveness. This will be accomplished by providing "hands on" experience with UNIX, selected computer applications software, and C++program development in a laboratory environment.
3. The student receives limited exposure to the Internet, UNIX, UNIX editors, Sun OpenWindows, X-Windows, and the C++ programming language.
4. The classroom lectures will be supplemented by open laboratory experience which, together, will provide a working knowledge of terminology, concepts, and a variety of structured programming techniques.

TENTATIVE COURSE OUTLINE:

When this course meets in a traditional on campus course, it would meet twice weekly (two 60-minute sessions per week) for the 15-week semester plus one 120-minute session during the final examination week. Students would be expected to attend these sessions and to work on reading, homework and programming assignments outside of the classroom. The "outside of the classroom" time is normally a minimum of two (2) hours for every hour spent in the classroom. This is a minimum of nine (9) hours per week for 15 weeks devoted to this course. Since you are taking this course as a distance learning course during a summer eight-week session, you should plan to devote an average of between 15 and 18 hours to the course on a weekly basis.
