The course provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals of computer science, from the structure of computers (hardware and software) to how networks operate, with particular attention to security and data protection. Students learn how information is represented, stored, and queried, introducing the principles of databases. On the practical side, they develop hands-on skills with commonly used tools—word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, and simple databases—to produce documents, analyze data, and communicate results clearly and effectively. Emphasis is placed on using computing to support the analysis of economic, managerial, and social problems, strengthening transferable skills in organizing and communicating information. Rounding out the foundations, the course also introduces the study of combinational logic circuits and the basic principles of Boolean logic, useful for understanding the decision-making mechanisms that underpin digital systems.
