There is a need to educate students about advances in Computing Theory that are effective for new technologies. This work describes an introductory course implemented in the Undergraduate Degree Program in Systems Engineering at U.N.C.P.B.A. ("Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires") in Argentina. This course provides an introduction to the theory of computing, starting from the study of a hierarchy of formal languages and automata, and basic concepts of computability and complexity by Turing machines. It has been organized in a way that is accessible to first-year students.
Keywords: Information Systems curricula, theoretical computer science, computability, formal language, automata
