CSI 106 - Computer Science I: Introduction to Multimedia Computing

Course unit(s): 1
Meets GAR: Meets general academic requirement RG.
An introduction to Computer Science through multimedia computing. Students will learn to create and use software to manipulate multimedia, including images, sounds, and web sites. Topics also include algorithm design and development, control structures, data types, and testing. Topics may vary from year to year depending on student interests, but will likely include “filtering” (e.g., color shifting, posterizing, and pitch shifting), music synthesis techniques, reading and writing files, and developing simple graphical user interfaces (GUIs). This course is intended for those with no prior experience in computer science but with a desire to hone problem solving and computing skills with a focus on multimedia.
