Computing means solving scientific problems using computers. It covers numerical as well as symbolic computing. Computing is also about developing an understanding of the scientific process by enhancing algorithmic thinking when solving problems.

And this competence is about:

• derivation, verification, and implementation of algorithms
• understanding what can go wrong with algorithms
• overview of important, known algorithms
• understanding how algorithms are used to solve complicated problems
• reproducible science and ethics
• algorithmic thinking for gaining deeper insights about scientific problems

All these elements (and many more) will hopefully aid you in maturing and gaining a better understanding of the scientific process per se. Writing good reports is a central element in achieving such insights.
