Module/Course Description
Course Title: Data Structures
Course Code: UU-COM-2001
Credits: 12.00
Course Description:
Objectives of the Course:
• Introduce students to Abstract Data Types (ADT).
• Provide practical experience to advanced programming techniques and data structures including tables, linked lists, queues and stacks.
• Introduce students to advance recursion such as the divide-and-conquer and backtracking.
• Obtain a foundation that will allow students to use storage media; methods of representing structured data; and techniques for operating on data structures.
• Introduce students to searching and sorting algorithms.
• Introduce students to Binary Trees and graphs.
Learning Outcomes:
• Discuss the use of primitive data types and build-in data structures.
• Describe common applications for different data structures.
• Implement user-defined data structures in a high-level language.
• Compare alternative implementations of data structures with respect to performance.
• Recognize when and how to use the following data structures: Arrays, Linked lists, Stacks, Queues and Binary trees.
• Compare and contrast the costs and benefits of dynamic and static data structure implementation.
• Choose the appropriate data structure for modeling a given problem.
• Describe the concept of recursion and give examples of its use.
• Describe the divide-and-conquer and backtracking approaches.
• Compare iterative and recursive solutions and determine when a recursive solution is appropriate for a problem.
• Apply various sorting and searching algorithms.
