C/C++ Programming Program

C and C++ are two of the most popular languages for applications where speed, efficiency, and compact executable code size are major considerations. Usages range from the simplest embedded microcontrollers, to games, multimedia applications, compilers, and well known complex operating systems.

Many of today's popular programming languages, including Java, Perl, and Python, have borrowed directly or indirectly from C or C++. Students who know C and C++ have an advantage learning these and other programming languages.

This certificate program starts by treating C++ as an extension of C, then progresses to the C++ object-oriented model and other advanced features. Students are exposed to a diverse range of programming situations and techniques that will be of value to novice and seasoned programmers alike.

The C and C++ certificate is designed to provide the tools necessary to stay current with rapidly changing technologies, progress to other programming languages, or simply complement a formal degree. Upon completion of this specialized certificate, students will be prepared to design, develop, implement, and maintain C and C++ applications.

This program equips participants to be productive in many related fields including software analysis, test and integration, and embedded systems engineering.
