Introduction to Programming for Biomedical Engineers

Catalog description

Students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of computer programming using examples from Python and MATLAB. The course will teach computer programming with a focus on practical applications for analyzing data and solving practical mathematical problems. Topics will include basic components of a computer (both hardware and software), memory and variables, expressions, selection structures, loops, arrays, functions, and commonly used algorithms such as sorting and searching. Students will become familiarized with proper coding practice, including modular code design and code reuse. At the end of the course, students will be able to apply computer programming skills to assist in both design and analysis for real-life engineering applications.
