This program provides a strong foundation in software development through knowledge and synthesis of object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), software tools, and data structures used in computer science. Students gain experience in several OOP programming languages and in analyzing and assessing problems and developing software solutions.Completing this program will help students advance in their careers as software development professionals and solidify the foundation of their computer science skills.
Approximately 24 based on enrollment projections in required courses.
The Computer Science department, through its designation as a Preferred Provider in the Advancing San Diego initiative,is taking a systemic approach to improving regional CE outcomes for its students through a myriad of curriculum changes. This revitalization effort invites major stakeholders to participate in the alignment of course content with advisory committee requisite skills and industry certifications (Google,Microsoft and Oracle), providing paid internships for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the CS industry or as CS educators and the dire need to engage and empower disproportionately affected populations of students in our industry (women, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Latinx).
Furthermore, the advisory group of the Advancing San Diego collaborative, which consists of 17 San Diego employers representing multiple industries, highlights the need to hire more than 7,000 software developers by 2022. Employers provided individual job growth projections and hiring requirements for software developers given that it has the strongest demand in the next few years. Supporting data and documentation are attached to this proposal.
The Computer Science Department is updating the COA and AA in Computer Programming Fundamentals to its new name of Software Development to align with industry needs of the Advancing San Diego initiative, strong employment demand and serve disproportionately impacted student populations through these burgeoning industry opportunities.

San Diego Mesa recommends approval of the modifications to the program.
Jesse Lopez · 02/17/21
Based on available LMI and COE's endorsement, Miramar College also supports the program modification.

Program modification = Palomar recommends approval

Thank you, Javier. I used to include the narrative with proposals, but,since our recommendations are based on LMI I have stopped including the entire state narrative, advisory board minutes etc. I can send to any of my colleagues via e-mail since I cannot edit proposals to add another attachment in this system. Just let me know.

I support but very little information about the content of the program. Other programs have provided more information.

Not sure if appropriate to endorse my own program, so, I will anyway. :)

MiraCosta College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. There is a supply gap (2,201 annual job openings) and entry-level wages average $33.02 per hour. The colleges should note that employers require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree for these occupations and a large number of institutions provide training for them. Please note that San Diego City College also submitted a new program using this LMI. Based on available LMI, the COE supports the modification.
