The History of Computing course incorporates a significant research and writing methods component and covers the social, economic and cultural causes and consequences of significant contributions in the history of computing from the earliest times to the modern era. A comparative emphasis is made of contributions from all over the world, including Europe (Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing), Japan (Casio Brothers, Shima Masatoshi) and North America (Grace Hopper, Stephen Wozniak). Comparative and cultural issues surrounding the impact of their achievements and those of other scientists are also investigated.     Project titles
