<!-- (Audio) Candidate: I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from California State University. During my studies, I was introduced to various programming languages and software development principles. -->

--description--

I was introduced to... is in the past simple passive form. It uses the verb to be (was) plus the past participle introduced. This structure is often used to show that something happened to the subject, not by the subject. For example:

At college, I was introduced to many programming languages. - During college, the speaker started learning or became familiar with different programming languages.
