Fundamental concepts of data structures. Performance measurement of algorithms. Implementation and use of lists, stacks, queues, priority queues, trees, heaps, hash tables and graphs. Recursion. Students will do programming assignments. 

The objective of this course is to teach the fundamentals of data structures needed in the remainder of the curriculum and develop students’ problem solving and computer programming skills

The course introduces basic digital logic design techniques, general microprocessor architecture and computer organization, the design of the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU). 
žObjectives:

›Help students learn the fundamental elements of computer architecture from a functional, hardware perspective;

›Foster an appreciation of organizational models and design decisions that determine the overall performance, capabilities, and limitations of a computer system;
