CTA 210 Computer Science

This course - for College of Technology students only - introduces both the theory and application of modern day computing and how market forces have influenced developments. It compares the Macintosh platform with the PC platform and looks at file preparations, file management, storage, and retrieval on both. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the Macintosh platform in the design world so students are prepared for courses in the College of Technology, where the main tool is the Macintosh platform running applications such as desktop publishing, digital image manipulation, web page design, and video editing software. This course was formerly identified as, and is equivalent to BCS 210. Students who have completed CTA/BCS 205 or CTA/BCS 206 or CTA/BCS 226 should not register for CTA 210.
