Topic outline
- Welcome to Computer Fundamentals
Welcome to Computer Fundamentals
A revolutionary creation of man- “Computer” made every aspect
of human life modernized. Once the things done manually are now automated
because of the massive growth of computer and its application. Computer is
increasingly becoming compulsory in nearly all fields of studies because of its
accuracy and efficiency in processing data
A computer is an electronic device, operating under the
control of instructions stored in its own memory. These instructions tell the
machine what to do. The computer is capable of accepting data (input),
processing data arithmetically and logically, producing output from the
processing, and storing the results for future use.
Study of computer
fundamentals will enlighten the young learner’s passion for technology and take
it to an advanced level. Application of computers can then be more fun.
Course Rationale
As
digitization is touching our lives in almost all spheres computer inevitable. Computers are present everywhere from schools to
colleges to banks to post offices to professional world to personal life. Education is fully dependent on the rigorous use of computers. Computer
Fundamentals (CSE 112) is one of the basic courses of CSE that helps the students to go deep into this magical machine. This course has been designed for the newly
admitted students with great enthusiasm to learn and apply their knowledge in the long run.
Course Objectives
The main objective of this course is to
introduce the fundamentals of computing devices and reinforce computer
vocabulary, particularly with respect to personal use of computer hardware and
software, the Internet, networking and mobile computing. It focuses on such
computer literacy that prepares students for life-long learning of computer
concepts and skills. Students discovers why computers are essential components
in education, business and society in this course.Course Outcomes
After successfully completing this course, a student will be able
to:
- Possess the knowledge of basic hardware peripherals
- Know and use different number systems and the basics of programming
- Solve basic computational problems with C language
