Artificial intelligence…but where is the intelligence?

Investigate the main internal components of common digital systems and their function

Examine how digital systems form networks to transmit data

Design algorithms involving multiple alternatives (branching) and iteration

Investigate how data is transmitted and secured in wired and wireless networks including the internet

Trace algorithms to predict output for a given input and to identify errors

Investigate how hardware and software manage, control and secure access to data in networked digital systems

Design algorithms involving logical operators and represent them as flowcharts and pseudocode

Validate algorithms and programs by comparing their output against a range of test cases
