Computer Programming and Problem Solving. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

An introductory course that is designed for engineering freshmen. This course introduces students to the engineering problem solving process in the context of MATLAB. The emphasis is on the logical analysis of a problem and the formulation of a computer program leading to its solution. Topics include basic concepts of computer systems, algorithm design, programming languages and data abstraction. At the end of class, a comparison between MATLAB and C/C++ will be discussed to provide students a better understanding of the general concept of computer programming.
