General Course Requirements and Recommendations

For this course to satisfy the Computer Technology General Education Requirement, it is required to cover the following items in addition to the core topics listed above:

  • Computer computation capacity (computer processor and required memory for computation), cloud computation, input and output, and storage devices.

  • File management tasks in various locations (e.g. cloud and desktop) that include finding (e.g. using search techniques), organizing (e.g. using/creating folder structures on various drives), saving, zipping, and printing files.

  • Submission of files through an online course platform, contacting instructors, and attaching files.

  • Use of search engines to proficiently locate reliable information on the internet, search internet for instructions on how to debug MATLAB and Python codes.

  • Create a term project report (e.g. edit, navigate, copy/paste, find/replace, headers/footers, insert pages, insert illustrations, spell check, tables, lists, etc.), format (e.g. font styles, margins, alignment, etc.), and configure (e.g. print/save to different formats, use templates) a document.

  • Create various presentations to illustrate project and lab work outcomes (e.g. slide layouts, adding multimedia, animations, transitions, table/charts, etc.), view (e.g. slide sorter, notes page, etc.) and configure (e.g. print/save to different formats, use templates) a slideshow.
