See Businesssection of the catalog.Endorsement in Information Technology 15 hoursSupplemental Endorsement only. This endorsement cannot existby itself on a teaching certificate, but is added to a teachingcertificate only in the presence of other endorsements whichmay have been acquired earlier or concurrently. Persons withthis endorsement may teach information technology coursesin grades K-12. This endorsement requires a minimum of 15semester hours in Information Technology courses and a minimumof 40 hours of related clinical experiences at elementaryand secondary levels.CSCCIS442/542 Prgrmg, Design & Documentation........3448/548 Web & Multimedia Content,Design & Admin.................................................3454/554 Technology Platforms:Hrdwr & Oper Sys..............................................3457/557 Networking & Technology Mgmt.........3475/575 Topics in CIS: Emerging Info Tech.......3Undergraduate CoursesCSC 150 Programming Fundamentals I (3) An introductionto modern programming and problem solving methodsusing a high-level programming language. Emphasis onalgorithm development, top-down design, and structuredprogramming. Topics include data types, files, I/Ooperations, control structures, functions, arrays, strings,and records. Software documentation and testing will beincluded as an integral part of the course.CSC 160 Programming Fundamentals II (3) Prerequisite: CSC150. This course is an exploration of the object-orientedparadigm as a means of creating and maintaining computerapplications. In addition to providing instruction in objectorientedprogramming concepts and methodologies, thiscourse will provide students with syntax.CSC 165 Introduction to Web Design (3) An introductionto the design and implementation of pages for the WorldWide Web. Elementary HTML programming and the useof various web creation software tools will be introduced.This course will also deal with issues and considerationsin design, layout, functionality, and other aspects of webcreation.CSC 310 Data Structures (3) Prerequisite: CSC 160. A studyof common abstract data types (stacks, queues, lists, trees,etc.) and their implementation using a modern objectorientedprogramming language; techniques for operatingon these data structures; and the distinction between
