This course is an introductory, first course in computer science designed primarily for students in Computer Science. However, it also meets the need of students in other fields, as a course that provides insight into the basics of computers. Emphasis is on history, functional components, characteristics of computers, broad introduction to programming methodology and algorithm as well as problem solving strategies and techniques for developing/documenting applications, including principles of structured programming, problem decomposition, program organization, the use of procedural abstraction and basic debugging skills. Visual basic programming language is also an important part which serves as the vehicle for illustrating several concepts.
