The CS degree at Mines is designed to be accessible to students with or without prior programming experience. The Introduction to Computer Science course introduces students to the building blocks of CS and provides a brief introduction to procedural programming in Python. The second computing course, Programming Concepts, emphasizes development of programming skills in an object-oriented language. The third introductory course, Data Structures, provides an understanding of the classic data representation schemes, algorithms, and algorithm analysis that form the foundation for all advanced work in computing. Required CS courses provide the fundamental skills and knowledge that are critical to success in computing. These courses reflect a mixture of theory and practice, including discrete structures, design and analysis of algorithms, principles of programming languages, computer architecture, operating systems, and software engineering. In the required Elements of Computing Systems course, students consolidate their understanding of CS by constructing a simulator for an entire modern computer from the ground up. The capstone field session course provides students an opportunity to work in teams to create software products for real clients. Elective courses in CS allow students to explore a variety of important computing topics, such as graphics and visualization, human computer interaction, artificial intelligence, database management, and web programming. Elective courses often relate to recent trends in computing, covering topics such as security, high performance computing, wireless sensor networks, and mobile applications.
