Program Overview

Computer Programming for Engineers - ENGG 1500

Course Description

Computer programming is used in contemporary engineering projects for designing, data analysis, and problem-solving. Mathematics 30, Mathematics 31, and Physics 30. Content includes structure and syntax of computer programs, data types, statements, arrays, control structures, loops, functions, data structures, and files. Learners will analyze and break down an engineering problem and use tools in MATLAB to solve it algorithmically. After completing this course, students will be able to conceptualize engineering problems as computational problems, identify the basics of data structures, and perform code debugging. Students will also be able to utilize engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles to solve engineering issues using a variety of programming constructs.
