ENAI71-100: Computational Thinking

Description

Computational Thinking is a foundation subject that introduces students to problem-solving used in modern computing and AI environments. Topics include decomposition, recognising patterns, abstracting structures and logic flows, and developing algorithms that are generalisable and reusable. Other important skills covered are debugging and testing.  Students will learn to apply these concepts both in theory and practice, building skills that are used to tackle real-world problems. The traditional computational methods are blended with emerging AI. Students will learn how to integrate AI tools into a workflow to produce, optimise and validate code used in business environments
