Summary: This unit contains information about the historical background of computer science, artificial intelligence, influencers of each generation, and more. Said generations are divided into 6 different stages, which are: Firts Generation (1940 - 1958), Second Generation Second generation (1959 - 1964), Third generation (1964 - 1971), Fourth Generation Four generation (1971 - 1981), Fifth Generation (1981 - 1995), Sixth Generation (1995 - Now). Each one of them contain information about programming and punched cards, the arrival of transistors, Combining transistors to create integrated circuits, Microprocessors and computer networks, The rise of Internet and Mobile phones, robots and AI.
Summary: This Unit contains information about what we currently understand about Computer Engineering and Computer Science, and the different benefits these two disciplines can bring to humanity. A lot of changes have been seen throughout the years, making life very different now from how it used to be decades ago. We can find ways of becoming greats engineers, and learn which qualities we must have in order to be successful. Moreover, we can find a lot of benefits defined in this lesson, and these advantages all add up to one specific goal, which is: Broaden and Improve our opportunities for a successful life.
