  abstract =     "CS1 curricula that focus primarily on teaching
                 programming skills may fail to give students a sense of
                 the breadth of topics to which a knowledge of
                 computability might apply. We attempt to correct for
                 this by adding a survey of computing concepts into our
                 introductory course. Sophisticated topics usually
                 reserved for senior level courses are presented in a
                 popular science manner, and given equal time alongside
                 the essential introductory programming material. By
                 exposing students to a broad range of specific
                 computational problems we endeavour to make their first
                 course more interesting and enjoyable, and instill in
                 them a sense of vision for areas they might specialise
                 in as computing majors.",
