Abstract
This course provides a broad introduction to computing appropriate for all students, regardless of
intended major. The course introduces fundamentals of computers and computer information
management primarily through projects that emphasize mastery of basic concepts, acquisition of
skills, and logical reasoning. Concepts presented include computer data representation, an
introduction to architecture and how computers work, and basic network organization. Logical
reasoning is fostered through working with models and abstraction, algorithmic thinking with an
introduction to programming, and critical evaluation of the use of computers and technology.
Emphasis is on the development of a conceptual framework for further learning and problem-solving
with computers, rather than on the use of specific software or hardware.
