AI 102—Introduction to Computational Fundamentals: Programming, Machines, and Constructing Knowledge

This course introduces students to a breadth of topics that underpin how computing devices function in our modern world. Students will also learn how computing systems are connected and work together to form the digital infrastructure we use in our daily lives, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical. Students will learn to design and evaluate solutions and to apply computational principles to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs. Students will learn about how data encode information and how to process that information to inform computing processes.
