   CS 110 is a <EM>one-credit</EM> course which covers the basic programming structures needed to prepare students for CS 310 and elementary engineering courses.  No prior computer programming experience is required and only a basic knowledge of computers is assumed.  The material covered enables students to write simple computer programs to solve engineering problems in elementary courses.  All programming is done in FORTRAN.  This course is intended for students who received little or no programming instruction in high school.<P>

These sections are taught entirely in the FORTRAN programming language and are intended primarily for engineering students and non-computer science majors.<P>
