14.2.2.3 Second Semester—Teaching Advanced Topics in Computer
Science: Abstract Data Types and Computational Models
The second semester deals with the teaching of advanced computer science con-
tents. Lessons held during this semester are related to the following subjects:
• The teaching of abstract data types (list, stack, queue, and binary tree);
• The teaching of computational models (deterministic finite automata, push-down
automata, Turing machine, languages);
• The teaching of advanced disciplinary concepts such as recursion, complexity,
and abstraction;
• Integration of social aspects, e.g., ethics, in the teaching process.
