Abstract

This paper describes one approach to answering the need for an introductory computer science course which will appeal to a university-wide audience. Kansas State University as many other institutions was faces with such a chllenge when financial constraints became more rigid. A large influx of students entered the Computer Science program, and many other units within the University recognized the need for some preparation for their students in Computer Science. Over a period of three years the course discussed was developed with large lectures and small laboratories. It is a cost-effective solution that caters to the needs of various disciplines.
