Abstract

THe initiation of a Programming Preparation Course for enhancing students' preparation in a C++ programming course and their level of confidence in mastering the basics of computer programming is discussed. The course is a collaborative effort of faculty in the College of Engineering and the Computer Science Department. The topics used to introduce the fundamentals of programming include variables, loops and input, and function calls. The instructor team that has developed thsi course has the potential of increasing student retention in the programming course during the spring semester.
