Computer Science
The Computer Science Department works to develop computer literacy and the ability to use computers as in all areas of their academic life at Prout and beyond. The school computer infrastructure has recently been upgraded to a Windows Server 2003 network. This network is providing state-of-the art network support to students, staff and administration. We continue to strive to provide our student and staff with the necessary tool to function in the 21st century.
In individual courses, students learn a variety of skills, with particular emphasis on an awareness of the computer as a necessary tool in the contemporary academic environment. Specific projects attempt to move students toward a higher order thought process enabled by the use of trouble shooting routines, use of anti-virus software, and a moral awareness of the issues facing the world in the Internet age.
Advanced courses deal specifically with programming in the JAVA environment, learning how to process strings, create equations, evaluate results, debug programs, and how to create tools for use by third party users.
