Course Objectives:	This is an introductory course on common data structures that are used in computer engineering. After completing the course, the student will have knowledge of applying, implementing and analysis of basic data structures, including, lists, stacks, queues, hash tables and binary trees. Certain fundamental techniques, such as sorting, searching and recursion are also introduced.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
I. Describe and apply basic object oriented programming principles.
II. Implement basic data structures such as linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, and trees.
III. Analyze the efficiency of algorithms.
IV. Choose and design data structures for writing efficient programs and apply/report these methods in a group project.
V. Implement recursive algorithms.
VI. Describe and implement sorting algorithms on common data structures.
VII. Describe and implement search algorithms on common data structures.

Course Content

After course overview and review of object oriented programming and C++, complexity analysis of algorithms will be introduced then array-based lists, linked lists, recursion, stacks, and queues will be covered. After the midterm search algorithms and hashing will be introduced. Lastly, sorting algorithms, binary search trees and B-trees will be covered during the end of the course. The teaching methods of the course include lectures, group work, technology-assisted learning, project preparation, and practice.
