C++ Certificate of Achievement

The goal of the Certificate of Achievement inC++ is to prepare students for entry-level employment in the field of Information Technology.

The emphasis of the Certificate of Achievement in C++ is designed to provide students with training in the theory and practice of computer programming emphasizing business and computer applications using C++. Students receive hands-on experience in the fundamentals of structured- and object-oriented analysis, design, and implementation using the computer programming language C++.

Students who successfully complete the Certificate of Achievement in C++ will be able to:

·        Effectively design and implement programming constructs, including functions, control structures, arrays/lists, classes, and objects for a given programming problem; and

·        Effectively implement the appropriate data structures using the principles and techniques of object-oriented programming for a given programming problem.

The Computer Information Systems Department requires students to complete all course requirements for the certificate within five years.

We expect 35 students to earn the certificate each year. 

The Computer Information Systems Department at San Diego City College strongly advocates for the inclusion of a Certificate of Achievement in C++. As part of our mission, we seek to prepare students for entry-level employment in the field of Information Technology. To this end, the Certificate of Achievement in C++ is designed to provide students with training in the theory and practice of computer programming emphasizing business and computer applications using C++. Students receive hands-on experience in the fundamentals of structured- and object-oriented analysis, design, and implementation using the computer programming language C++.
