Core Learning Outcomes (CoCLOs) 

Upon completing the course, the student will be able to: 

•  Critical Thinking: Assess why certain solutions might not work and save time in coming up with a more efficient approach 
• Professional Readiness: Work well with others and display situationally and culturally appropriate demeanor and behavior 
• Quantitative Literacy: Perform accurate calculations, interpret quantitative information, apply and analyze relevant numerical data, and use results to support conclusions 
• Scientific Literacy: Represent real-world objects and processes virtually by identifying properties, behavior, and operations relevant to solving problems on a computer. 
• Written Communication: Develop, convey, and exchange ideas in writing, as appropriate to a given context and audience 

CSC Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) 

SLO6: Use acquired concepts of discrete mathematics to solve computer science problems. 

 Course-Level Learning Objectives (CLOs)

 At the end of this course, students should be able to: 

•  Define functions, relations, and sets, creating the ability to perform operations using these structures and to demonstrate the algebra of sets, functions, sequences, and summations. 
•  Identify basic structures of proof techniques in the process of understanding the problems and applying the appropriate proof techniques 
•  Define counting formalisms with their elements by solving applications related to counting 
•  Explore elements of logic, applying the concepts to solve problems. 
•  Define graphs and trees with their characteristics. 
•  Use probability concepts and theorems to solve problems related to discrete probability. 
•  Explain recurrence relations with an analysis of their complexity and applications. 
•  Explain Boolean algebra, using its properties to create and simplify expressions. 
•  Define combinatorial circuits with operations of discrete logic gates and MSI components.
•   Solve real-life problems by identifying the appropriate techniques.
