ICS2O
Introduction to Computer Studies, Grade 10, Open

This course introduces students to computer programming. Students will plan and write simple computer programs by applying fundamental programming concepts and learn to create clear and maintainable internal documentation. They will also learn to manage a computer by studying hardware configurations, software selection, operating system functions, networking and safe computing practices. Students will also investigate the social impact of computer technologies and develop an understanding of environmental and ethical issues related to the use of computers.
Prerequisite: None

ICS3U
Introduction to Computer Science, Grade 11, University

This course introduces students to computer science. Students will design software independenty and as part of a team, using industry-standard programming tools and applying the software development life-cycle model. They will also write and use subprograms within computer programs. Students will develop creative solutions for various types of problems as their understanding of the computing environment grows. They will also explore environmental and ergonomic issues, emerging research in computer science, and global career trends in computer-related fields.
Prerequisite: None

ICS3C
Introduction to Computer Programming, Grade 11 College Preparation

This course introduces students to computer programming concepts and practices. Students will write and test computer programs, using various problem-solving strategies. They will learn the fundamentals of program design and apply a software development life-cycle model to a software development project. Students will also learn about computer environments and systems and explore environmental issues related to computers, safe computing practices, emerging technologies, and post-secondary opportunties in computer-related fields.
Prerequisite: None

ICS4U
