Catalog description:
This course introduces the student to the fundamental concepts of computer engineering. Topics covered include: Computers and information processing - notion of computers, concepts of data and information, applications of computers, history of computing. Computer hardware - CPU, memory, input/output interface, secondary storage, ports, types of computer systems, computer software - system software, utilities, application software, data communication, an overview of operating systems. General problem solving concepts: basic data types, constants and variables, basic operators and expressions, algorithms, pseudo codes, and flow charts, sequential, and conditional problem solving (IF statements and CASE logic), looping (WHILE/WHILE-END, REPEAT-UNTIL, FOR structures), formatted output, examples in C programming language.

Policy on makeups: For eligibility to take a makeup exam, the student should bring a doctor's report within 3 working days of the missed exam. You will have only one make-up for Midterm or final exams only. Make-up will be organized after final exam period and will cover all the material studied during the semester.
Attendance to lectures Attendance will be taken in every lecture but will not be graded.
Attendance to labs There is no makeup for labs
Policy on cheating and plagiarism: Any student caught cheating at the exams or assignments will automatically fail the course and may be sent to the disciplinary committee at the discretion of the instructor.
Policy on NG grades: NG grade will be given in case of Missing Midterm and Final without official excuse.
Contribution of course to ABET criterion 5
