Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| 7352.D1.2 | Demonstrate fundamental programming constructs such as understanding of language syntax, semantics and style standards including documentation and commenting, using IDEs to create, execute, test, and debug programs utilizing standard software development design and methodologies. |
| 7352.D1.3 | Analyze and explain the behavior of simple programs utilizing variables, expressions, assignments, I/O, control structures, functions, parameter passing, preconditions, postconditions, and invariants. |
| 7352.D1.5 | Use the techniques of decomposition to modularize a program. |
| 7352.D1.6 | Apply a variety of strategies to the testing and debugging of simple programs including: ● Conduct code reviews (focused on common coding errors and the extent to which the code meets documentation and programming style standards) on program components. ● Differentiate between program validation and verification. ● Ensure programs use defensive programming techniques, including input validation, type checking, and protection against buffer overflow. ● Implement refactoring within given program components. |
| 7352.D2.3 | Describe, compare, and contrast the components of Computer Architecture which include all portions of the Von Neumann machine as well as assembly/machine language. Explore the impact of memory latency on execution time (Von Neumann Bottleneck). |
| 7352.D2.4 | Examine major objectives, functions, features, and concepts of modern operating systems. ● Discuss the role, purpose of operating systems ● Compare prevailing types of operating systems. ● Discuss potential threats to operating systems and appropriate features used to provide protection and security. ● Diagram the interaction of an Application Programming Interface (API) with an operating system. ● Illustrate how applications use computing resources managed by the operating system and explain the need for concurrency and common methods to implement concurrency. ● Illustrate the principles of memory management including virtual memory, paging, thrashing, and partitioning. ● Diagram the physical hardware devices and the virtual devices maintained by an operating system. |
