What topics are covered in computer science courses?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the knowledge and skills gained from a series of computer science courses, including Introduction to Computer Science, Program Design, Algorithms and Data Structures, Object Oriented Programming, Unix Tools and Scripting, Digital Systems and Design, Computing Architecture, and Engineering Graphics. Participants seek clarity on whether these courses provide a solid foundation in software engineering, hardware, or both. There is a consideration of whether to complete the courses for an associate degree or to transfer after the first year to pursue a degree in electrical engineering with a minor in computer science. It is suggested that course descriptions in the catalog will offer specific insights into the content and focus of each class, aiding in decision-making regarding educational pathways.

I just want to know what kind of knowledge will be built around these courses

Introduction to computer science
Program Design
Algorithms and Data Structures
Object Oriented Programming
Unix tools and scripting
Digital Systems and Design
Computing Architecture
Engineering Graphics

I just want to know if these courses are meant to give you good background in software engineering or hardware or what. I am trying to figure out if I should finish these courses first(and get the associate degree) or just finish my 1st year and transfer to uni to get electrical engineering and a computer science minor.

Each class should have a description in the course catalog. That will describe what is being taught at your particular institution.
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
