CSCI 155Conceptual Approaches to Computing2

This course introduces students to foundational concepts in computer science without focusing on programming. Students will explore key topics including unit and boundary testing, recursion, functional thinking, and object-oriented design principles. Through a conceptual approach, students will develop problem-solving skills, learn to think critically about computational processes, and understand how different paradigms of thinking apply to real-world scenarios. In addition to technical concepts, the course will emphasize ethical considerations in computing, such as responsible algorithm design, fairness in automation, and the societal impacts of computational decisions. This course encourages students to think critically not only about how to design efﬁcient systems, but also about their ethical implications in a rapidly evolving digital world.
