Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe computational machinery and the relation between computer hardware and software.
- Translate complex problems into programmatic flow charts. Convert flow charts into programs.
- Declare and initialize variables of various types and apply them within coded expressions translated from symbolic equations.
- Translate logical statements to coded conditional statements and create: if, if/else, chained if/else, and switch/case structures.
- Construct program sequences as well as achieve looped statements using for, while, and do/while repetition structures.
- Analyze real-life engineering problems and create code to achieve solutions while following a systematic approach.
- Use proper coding techniques for syntax, indentation, commenting, and variable naming.
- Implement debugging strategies to detect, find, and rectify programming errors.
