計算機已成為我們生活中的一部分，它的軟硬體技術不停演進與發展。電腦網路連接全球使成天涯若比鄰，虛擬實境創造了酷眩的3D影像，計算機更使用於太空探險、為電影工業創造驚人的市場。計算機在基因研究更扮演重要的角色。這門課的內容參照美國電腦學會所推薦的CS0課程大綱，讓學員修完課之後，對整個計算機科學有通盤的認識。

Computers have become a part of our lives, and its software and hardware technologies continue to evolve and develop. Computer networks connect the world, making the world feel like a neighbor. Virtual reality creates dazzling 3D images. Computers are also used in space exploration and create an astonishing market for the film industry. Computers play an even more important role in genetic research. The content of this course refers to the CS0 course syllabus recommended by the American Computer Society, so that students will have a comprehensive understanding of the entire computer science after completing the course.
