In this course we define information technology to have five aspects: 1) general-purpose computers and their associated peripheral devices, 2) applications that enable people to make effective use of computing, 3) the data and information stored on these computers, 4) the software that operates the computer and provides us with a human-usable interface, and 5) the theory behind the design of computers and their applications. Because computing permeates virtually every aspect of our lives, it is critically important to have a minimal level of fluency with information technology to enable you to use it effectively in your career as well as your role as a contributing member of society. The aim of this course is to ensure that all students obtain that fluency. No prerequisites. Every semester.
