Introduction to Computer Programming for Engineers 2

Description

This course introduces concepts, theory and practice of computer programming. The emphasis is on the design of correct and efficient algorithms and on programming style, building from APSC 141 . Applications are made to engineering problems. K2.3(Lec: Yes, Lab: Yes, Tut: No) Offering Term: W Requirements: Prerequisites: APSC 141 Corequisites: Exclusions: CISC 101 , APSC 143 Course Learning Outcomes: - Correctly index 1D and 2D arrays for assigning and returning element values. - Declare and initialize strings and utilize string functions to manipulate string elements. - Reproduce simple algorithms for searching and sorting 1D arrays, and arrays of strings. - Utilize pointers to access memory addresses and implement the basics of memory allocation and management. - Simplify programs using functions with pass-by-value and pass-by reference inputs and set variable scopes appropriately. - Analyze real-life engineering problems and create code to achieve solutions while following a systematic approach. - Automate requirements testing by writing effective unit and functional tests. - Identify common insecure coding practices and apply mitigations. - Use proper coding techniques for syntax, indentation, commenting, and variable naming. - Implement debugging strategies to detect, find, and rectify programming errors.
