COMPUTER PROGRAMMING WITH ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

Undergraduate

This introductory course in computer programming is specifically designed for engineering students with no previous programming experience. The learning objectives are twofold: 1) to gain the ability to write scripts and solve basic engineering problems using numerical computing environments, 2) to introduce embedded systems and the fundamentals of programming, using microcontrollers. Topics include problem solving, algorithm design, modular programming, data types and number systems, operators, functions, decision statements, loops, and arrays. The latter part of the course deals with the fundamentals of interfacing peripheral devices including sensors and actuators to design small embedded systems PREREQUISITE: Admission to the Engineering Program. Mathematics 1920 must be completed or taken concurrently. Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week
