and
letters students and as a second major only. This major is composed of
a
cross-disciplinary sequence of courses that:
(1) Allows the opportunity to become familiar
with the world of computer technology
(2) Gives working experience in computer
languages
(3) Gives substantial programming experience in a
number of areas
(4)
Increases job opportunities upon graduation.
The sequence is designed to show the relevance of
computer technology to human problem-solving, and to demonstrate the
use of
computer applications in traditional areas of humanistic concern and
interest.

Students will study materials necessary to
construct and maintain World Wide Web pages. They will learn the basics
of the
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), a scripting language for formatting
Web
pages. They will also learn Java, a secure object-oriented language
that can be
used for stand-alone applications or for applets that provide
client-side
processing within Web pages. In the Java section, the course will
concentrate
on applets. Learning activities will be done online. These activities
will
include laboratory assignments, a Web page project, and HTML and Java
examinations. The object of the course is not to produce expert-level
programmers in HTML and Java, but to provide a basic level of skills in
these
languages so that graduates of the course will be able to work
knowledgeably
with future clients, corporate analysts, and professional programmers.
