The course covers the basic data representation and processing constructs necessary to problem solving using computers. This includes the development of algorithmic solutions to data processing problems through the use of workflow concepts such as sequence, selection, and iteration. In addition, the course addresses fundamental problem-solving strategies such as the decomposition of data processing problems into multiple tasks whose functions are coordinated within a specified workflow. Computer simulation and/or implementation tools will be used to provide hands-on application of studied concepts using business problem solving examples.
