INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Course Description

This course presents the basics of the Computer Engineering Department, as well as the Computer Engineering science. The fundamentals of both hardware and software in a computer system are discussed. Other topics include representation of information, logic design, fundamentals of software life cycles, software methodologies, programming languages, Computer Engineering in business and business applications. Also, ethical and social responsibilities of Computer Engineers are studied. Departmental facilities and the software’s used in the university like registration software (SIS) or course management site (moodle) are also studied and introduced to students. Besides, the campus life and the curriculum of the department are in the scope of the course. Moreover, academic life and its procedures like grade average calculations, letter grades and other academic issues are discussed.
