I. Course orientation in the curriculum system

Computer Science is a fundamental and compulsory course for undergraduate majors such as

Artificial Intelligence (the international class). The theory and method of Computer Science is a

basic information tool to deal with the quantitative relationship of multidimensional and

multivariable problems. Learning and mastering the theory and method of Computer Science is an

important foundation and means for mastering modern science and technology and engaging in

scientific research. It is also an essential prerequisite for realizing the training goal, which will lay

a necessary computer foundation for the subsequent courses of the major. Through the study of

this course, students can systematically acquire the basic knowledge and theory of History, Data

Storage, Data Manipulation, Operating Systems, Networking, Algorithms, Programming

Languages, Software Engineering, Abstractions, Databases, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence,

Theory, etc., and have the ability of skilled computer operation and the ability to solve some

practical problems with computer, so as to lay the necessary foundation for learning subsequent

courses and further acquiring computer knowledge. Meanwhile, this course integrates the

ideological and political elements such as computer culture and moral education, and focuses on

the education of patriotism and national consciousness, dialectical materialism and political

identity, scientific spirit and four self-confidence; Combines knowledge teaching with value

guidance, promotes the spirit of model workers and craftsmen, guide students to establish correct

outlook on world, life and values, strengthen their four self-confidence, establish the sense of

mission and responsibility of the times; Creates a glorious social fashion of labor and a dedication

of striving for perfection in order to help students develop morally, intellectually, physically,

aesthetically and laboriously in an all-round way.

II. Course Objectives

 1. To cultivate the students' necessary thinking ability of computer science, and improve

mathematical attainment and logical thinking ability;

2. Relate the "Big Ideas" of Computer Science to the real world, including algorithms and

programming, creativity and abstraction, data, and impact computing systems have on human

society;

3.Describe the primary components of computer systems and the principles by which they

represent and manipulate data, and collaborate to develop a computational artifact using

appropriate algorithmic and information management principles;

4. Cultivate students' abstract thinking ability and logical reasoning ability, enhance their

dialectical thinking ability, and cultivate their rigorous, down-to-earth, honest and upright

personality.
