5. a. Catalog Description: This course focuses on the graphical human-machine interface, covering the principles of windowing
systems, graphical interface design and implementation, and processing graphical data. There is an emphasis on medium-
scale programming projects with graphical user interfaces using a high-level procedural programming language and
concepts such as object-oriented design.
b. Prerequisites: CS 216 and Engineering Standing.
c. Elective course
