\paragraph{Catalogue Description:}~ \newline
156L. Computer Science II Laboratory  (1 cr) lab 1.  Parallel: CSCE 235. 
Introduction to the programming environment for CSCE 156 - operating
system, project maintenance, IDE, editing, compiling, debugging, and
running programs.
Laboratory assignments consist of larger, more
complex problems than CSCE 155/155L, with emphasis on systematic
development of systems of related programs and procedures, providing
hands-on reinforcement of CSCE 156 course topics.

\paragraph{Textbook(s) and/or Other Required Materials:}~ \newline
Nell Dale, {\em C++ Plus Data Structures}, or \\
Main and Savitch, {\em Data Structures and Algorithms Using C++}

\paragraph{Prerequisites by Topic:}~ 
\begin{enumerate}
\item {\bf Mastery} of a high-level language: control structures, functions
   and parameter passing, input and output, data types and rudimentary
   data structures.
\item {\bf Familiarity} with elementary computer science approaches for
   problem-solving including problem analysis and specification,
   top-down design, algorithm development, step-wise refinement,
   modularization, data and operation abstraction, and documentation.
\item {\bf Exposure} to creating usable interfaces including graphical
   user interface builders and event-based programming.
\end{enumerate}

\paragraph{Course Objectives:}~ 
\begin{enumerate}
\item {\bf Mastery} of elementary computer science approaches for
   problem-solving including problem analysis and specification,
   top-down design, algorithm development, step-wise refinement,
   modularization, data and operation abstraction, and documentation.
   Design and implementation of abstract data types; linear and linked
   data structures; data structures and operations for strings, lists,
   stacks, queues, trees - particularly binary trees, heaps, graphs, and sets.
\item {\bf Familiarity} with algorithms for searching and sorting;
   creating usable interfaces including graphical user interface
   builders and event-based programming, recursion, recurrence relations.
\item {\bf Exposure} to program analysis and correctness; software reuse
   and application programming interfaces such as for access to a
   relational database.
\end{enumerate}

\newpage
\paragraph{Topics Covered:}~ \newline
The laboratory is used primarily to reinforce the topics from the lecture.
There is also a focus on skills for developing projects and project
   management using system software for editing, compiling, executing,
   debugging programs in a high-level language.  A second OS/programming
   environment should be introduced.


\paragraph{Relationship of Course to Program Objectives:}~ \newline


\paragraph{Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component:}~ \newline


\paragraph{Class/Laboratory Schedule:}~ \newline
Laboratory: 15 hours 

\paragraph{Prepared by:}~ \newline
