  9. Course Overview • Introduction to Computer Organization • and Architecture • Data Representation and Memory • Usage • Introduction to Operating Systems • Problem Solving and Algorithm • Development

  10. Course Overview (con’t) • Introduction to Software Engineering • Using Top-Down Design • Compiling, Linking and Execution • C Programming • Reuse Based on Algorithm Selection • and Design Techniques

  11. Getting a GL Account at UMBC • You MUST have a GL account • Go to room ECS 020 (in the basement) and ask at the desk, OR • Using the Internet, go to: accounts.umbc.edu (NO www.) • Your account can be used in approximately ½ hour

  12. Changing Your UNIX Password • Log in by entering your id and password given on the sheet • At the UNIX prompt type: passwd <Return> • You will be prompted for your new password; type it in and press <Return> • You will be asked to type the new password again

  17. Consultants vs. Tutors • OIT labs are staffed by consultants • using software (pine, xrn, Netscape, • etc.) • some text editors (emacs, pico) • operating system commands (UNIX) • cleaning floppy disks • communicating with UMBC computers

  18. Consultants vs. Tutors (con’t) • CSHC is staffed by tutors • Help with homework and projects • emacs and UNIX questions • ECS 332 -- Hours to be announced

  19. Hardware & Software Needs • Do I need my own computer? • No, but it is more convenient for you. • If I have my own computer, can I use it? • Sure, but you will use it mostly to log in to your GL account or for word processing. • Do I need a C Compiler? • No, and you probably shouldn’t buy one. All programming should be done in your GL account.
