Department Philosophy: The Career Technology Education Department believes that education’s most important

function is to provide all students with the skills needed for post-secondary and careers. This is accomplished by

providing interest-based programs that meet industry standards.

Course Description: The goal of this course is to deepen students understanding of computing. Students will learn key concepts of software

engineering, graphical user interface, and user interface design. Students will gain a deeper understanding of basic data

structures and use them to solve more complex problems in a collaborative manner. Students will learn competencies in

programming and be prepared to take the A.P. Computer Science exam.

A.P. Computer Science Exam Students will complete this course by taking the A.P. Computer Science Exam in May.

Course Prerequisites: Computing in the Modern World and Beginning Programming

Career Pathways: A.P. Computer Science completes the Computer Science Pathway.

Classroom Expectations: Give Respect, Get Respect.

All rules included in the Bibb County Code of Conduct Book will be enforced. Additionally, students will abide

by the normal practices of the classroom. These practices include:

- Students will respect the teacher, their fellow students, and their environment.

- Students will not get up out of their seat during class unless called upon.

- Students will take care of all necessities prior to the beginning of class (sharpening pencils, finding

materials, etc.).

- Students will enter class and immediately begin their Activation Activity. No exceptions.

- Students may talk quietly during designated time-frames. Under no circumstances should students talk

while the teacher is instructing.

- Students will sit in their assigned seat each day. The teacher reserves to right to redesign the classroom

seating chart at any time.

- Students may not leave the class during the first 20 minutes nor the last 20 minutes of class.

- Students should come to class prepared with notebook, paper, and writing utensil every day.

Make-up Policy: It is the responsibility of the student to retrieve make-up assignments for missed school days from

the teacher. Students have five (5) school days to make up missed work. After-school work can be done via

appointment or on Thursdays from 3:00 – 3:30.

Re-do Policy: Students who make a 69 or below on a project or text can re-do the assignment within five (5) school

days. Students will receive a 70 if they pass the assignment on the second attempt. Students will not receive a grade

higher than a 70 for a re-do. After-school work can be done via appointment or on Thursdays from 3:00 – 3:30.

The prompt and input data would look something like this: Please enter your name. Peter Ustinov Using a for-loop and the String method, substring(…), produce a printout of the reversal of the name. For example, the name Peter Ustinov would be: vonitsu retep Notice that the printout is in all lower-case. Use the String method, toLowerCase( ) to accomplish this. BCS-IP-6. Students will design solutions for complex programs using advanced programming techniques and constructs. BCS-IP-8. Students will demonstrate knowledge of advanced object-oriented concepts.

Computer Science MOVE LEFT ACTOR Lab Value - 110

Project Goal : This lab was designed to teach you more about the GridWorld case study and how to use if else if else statements. Project Description : Make a new actor that will only move left. If the actor reaches the left most column, the actor will restart at the right most column. The actor should only move to empty cells that are in the grid. If the actor’s path is obstructed, the actor should move to the closest empty cell. If the entire path ahead is blocked, the actor should return to the beginning and search for an empty cell.

According to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission two US satellites

were hacked into in 2007 and 2008. The hackers interfered at least 4 times within this time period

and could cause a major security issue. The hackers have to ability to secure all the satellite’s

information as well as jamming signals from the correct broadcasters. The usual suspects of these

attacks are the Chinese; however it is not sure whether it is a professional arm of the PLA or just a

bunch of teenagers behind these attacks. It is clear however those satellites can no longer hold data

in isolation.

This possesses a serious threat to governments, people, and companies that rely on

satellites. A full on assault on satellites could shut down a large portion of NATO’s ability to protect

the West and could severely hamper the economy. Chinese hackers have also proved to be able to

hack into secure networks while the PLA can actually shoot down satellites. The Chinese experience

in cyber warfare may prove vital in the 21st century. America and other countries and companies

must find a way to protect their cyberspace from Chinese hackers in the future, we should expect

more and more attacks like this and worse unless we realize that this is a major issue that should be

addressed and acted upon.

China Military Unit ‘Behind Prolific Hacking’

This article, published by BBC, discusses a recent trace done of hacking attempts on the U.S. government by Mandiant, a United States-based security company. The results of this trace pinpointed the attempt to be done by APT1 and that the attempt originated at the site of a twelve story building in Shanghai, which is also the base of operations for Unit 61398 of the People’s Liberation Army. This fueled past accusations against Unit 61398, which has been suspected of being a central aspect of China’s cyber espionage program for several years. It has been recorded that Mandiant stated that there was one alternative to Unit 61398’s involvement, which was that “a secret, resourced organization full of mainland Chinese speakers with direct access to Shanghai-based telecommunications infrastructure is engaged in a multi-year, enterprise scale computer espionage campaign right outside of Unit 61398’s gates, performing tasks similar to Unit 61398’s known mission.” Now, according to Occam’s Razor, the most obvious solution is the correct solution, so Unit 61398 is obviously the perpetrator of these hacking attempts, rather than some fictitious organization, as Mandiant proposes as the only alternative to this. Due to this, one can assume that China is, in fact, spying on America to an excessive extent. The only question now is, “Why?” In order to answer this, one must wonder what exactly America’s future holds, when we are so far in debt to the country that is spying on us to this extent. I, personally, hate to imagine the future for the next generations, when we are creating situations in the world such as these for them to deal with. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-21502088
