Computer Science

Introduction to Computer Science Booklet

What is the subject about?

The ability to analyse problems through practical experience of solving problems and deconstructing
technology. Computers are widely used in all aspects of business, industry, government, education,
leisure and the home.

Computer science integrates well with subjects across the curriculum. Computer science demands
both logical discipline and imaginative creativity in the selection and design of algorithms.
Some of the key objectives this course will develop are:
​

• Applying abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation to solve problems.
• The capacity for thinking creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically
• The ability to articulate the individual (moral), social (ethical), legal and cultural opportunities and risks of digital technology.
