2. Design and construct computer programs to solve engineering problems using appropriate data
types declaration, and appropriate commands to demonstrate the input, output, control structure,
functions, File I/O and array statement.
3. Compile and debug program using appropriate compiler and debugger tools.
4. Document the developed program into an acceptable engineering standard.
Synopsis
This course introduces concepts and techniques for creating computational solutions to problems in
engineering and science. The essentials of computer programming are developed using the
programming languages, with the goal of enabling the student to use the computer effectively in
subsequent courses. Programming topics include problem decomposition, control structures,
recursion, arrays and other data structures; file I/O, graphics, and code libraries. Applications will be
drawn from numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, root finding, matrix operations,
searching and sorting, simulation, and data analysis. Good programming style and computational
efficiency are emphasized. Although no previous programming experience is assumed, a significant
time commitment is required.
