Course Outline: Unit 1: Computer Systems Allows students to gain an appreciation of computing principles, including characteristics of contemporary systems architecture using operating systems, software development, introduction to programming, exchanging data, databases, networks, and web technologies, and computing-related laws. Unit 2: Algorithms and Programming Students gain an appreciation of designing solutions to particular problems, how procedural programs are structured, the types of data and data structures, the common facilities of procedural languages, how to write maintainable programs, and how to test and run solutions using algorithms. Unit 3: Programming Project Students must select a user-driven problem of an appropriate size and complexity to solve. In this project, students must demonstrate their ability to analyze the problem, design a solution, implement a solution, and evaluate their development and final solution. During the course, there are educational visits to the Cambridge Centre of Computing and The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.
