Course Description
Why this course is important
The world is rapidly changing. Nowhere are these changes more evident than in the increasing importance of information in economic and social exchange. Research indicates that the majority of jobs in the United States will eventually be "information jobs" requiring a high degree of technical and analytical ability. Students will need a combination of technical skills, business skills, and hands-on experience to be competitive in this job market. As one expert put it, in this world of dramatic change, "the basic economic resource is and will be knowledge." This knowledge-the raw material of productivity and innovation-is not a static body of information or a set of facts to be memorized. Rather, it is the ability to access, assimilate, and apply information-a marriage of critical thinking and technological skills.

What this course is about
Students will develop analytical and technical problem solving skills and be exposed to broad areas of business computing and the Information Technology (IT) industry. This course focuses on practical problem-solving skills, using electronic communication tools, the spreadsheet and the database.
