  abstract =     "This course is designed for students who do not intend
                 to become programmers, but who recognize the important
                 role of the computer and wish to learn how computers
                 are affecting society and how they might use these
                 machines in their careers. The course covers how
                 computers operate, what must be done to develop a
                 computer application, characteristics of successful
                 applications, and the social implications of computer
                 technology.The objectives are (1) to provide
                 understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of
                 computers, (2) enable students to recognize potential
                 computer applications, (3) enable students to
                 communicate effectively with computer programmers and
                 systems analysts, and (4) make students aware of the
                 social implications of computer systems.Most students
                 who enroll in this course are majoring in a social
                 science, fine arts, business, education, or a
                 non-technical liberal arts department. Because this may
                 well be the only technically oriented course taken
                 during their college careers, we point out how what we
                 are learning about computers is pertinent to all areas
                 of rapidly evolving technology.",
