Catalog description

MIS 215 Business Data Structures (4.0 cr.)

Abstract data types, data structures, and their implementation in object-oriented programs. Data structures covered include stacks, queues, lists, trees and graphs. Course requirements include designing and testing object-oriented programs for business applications.

Pre-requisites: Primary prerequisites: CS 209 and MTH 228. Please note that if you do not have these prerequisites, you may be administratively dropped from the course. If you have any equivalents or waivers, you will need to talk to me or to an advisor to make sure this doesn't happen.

Experience with programming: it is expected that you are already familiar with Java and the process of writing moderate sized programs (100-200 lines) with Java.

Course Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to provide students with tools for solving business problems using advanced data structures that are either built-in or custom-developed using Java. The course will provide the students with the critical thinking abilities that would help them choose a specific data structure for particular business problems, and implement a strategy for solving the problem using the chosen data structure for maximum efficiency.

Upon successfully completing this course, the student will:

learn how to design, create and understand data structures and abstract data types.
understand the concepts of data structures such as lists, trees and graphs
learn how to associate data structures with appropriate algorithms to properly use such structures.
learn how to decide on choosing appropriate data structures for specific business problems.
