  7. ENGI 1020: Introduction • Why? • All engineers today will use computers in some way • Engineers are responsible for the output produced by the programs they use • Can't blame the machine • It's likely that you will have to write some programs some time • Believe it or not • Programming skills come up in other courses

  8. ENGI 1020: Introduction • Why? • Being able to program is a valuable job skill • Programming skills from this course can be applied to other areas • Problem solving • System approach • Fundamental ideas underpin our digital world • Your world is filled with computers and software

  9. ENGI 1020: The Basics • The Computer * • input devices • output devices • Memory devices • volatile memory (RAM) which loses data when the power is off • non-volatile memory (disks of various kinds) which hold data when power is off. • The CPU (Central Processing Unit) • The Data Bus

  10. ENGI 1020: The Basics • Terms • Read • Write • Data • Computers process in sequence • Instructions and data are read from memory • Data is processed by CPU • Results are written back to memory

  11. ENGI 1020: The Basics • Programs are sets of instructions used to accomplish some task • Calculating interest • Flying airplanes • Streaming videos • Programs are stored in memory just like data • They are fetched and executed by the CPU • Or CPUs, but we won't worry about that for now

  12. ENGI 1020: Next Time ... • Complexity • Structure • Organization • How Engineers and computers solve problems
