AR Digital logic and digital
systems
Logic circuits
Building blocks of a computer
AR Machine-level representation Bits, bytes, and words
of data
Numeric data representation and number bases
Fixed- and floating-point systems
Signed and twos-complement representations
Representation of non-numeric data (character codes,
graphical data)
AR Assembly level machine Basic organization of the von Neumann machine
organization
Control unit; instruction fetch, decode, and execution
Assembly/machine language programming
Instruction formats
GV Fundamental Concepts Standard image formats, including lossless and lossy
formats
HCI Foundations Contexts for HCI (anything with a user interface:
webpage, business applications, mobile applications,
games, etc.)
Different measures for evaluation: utility, efficiency,
learnability, user satisfaction.
Physical capabilities that inform interaction design: color
perception, ergonomics
Cognitive models that inform interaction design:
attention, perception and recognition, movement, and
memory.
Gulfs of expectation and execution.
Accessibility: interfaces for differently-abled populations
(e.g., blind, motion-impaired)
NC Introduction Organization of the Internet (Internet Service Providers,
Content Providers, etc.)
Physical pieces of a network (hosts, routers, switches,
ISPs, wireless, LAN, access point, firewalls, etc.)
Roles of the different layers (application, transport,
network, datalink, physical)
NC Networked Applications Naming and address schemes (DNS, IP addresses,
Uniform Resource Identifiers, etc.)
Distributed applications (client/server, peer-to-peer,
cloud, etc.)
HTTP as an application layer protocol
SDF Algorithms and Design The concept and properties of algorithms
○ Informal comparison of algorithm efficiency (e.g.,
operation counts)
The role of algorithms in the problem-solving process
Problem-solving strategies
○ Iterative traversal of data structures
○ Divide-and-conquer strategies
SDF Fundamental Programming Basic syntax and semantics of a higher-level language
Concepts
Variables and primitive data types (e.g., numbers,
characters, Booleans)
Expressions and assignments
Simple I/O including file I/O
Conditional and iterative control structures
