First Year Seminar 191MCS20 - FYS- How Computers Work

Have you ever pondered the inner workings of your trusty companion, your computer? This seminar offers a journey through the essential components that power our digital age and will help you grasp the roles and significance of GPUs, CPUs, motherboards, and more, as you uncover the architecture behind every computing marvel. This seminar is designed so that you will not only understand the inner workings of PCs but also gain the confidence to assemble your own in the future. Our goal is to hopefully see PCs and Legos through the same lens because just like building with Legos, assembling your own PC can be both creative and empowering.

Open to COMPSCI or INFORM students only. First-year (R1ST)
