Overall Educational Objective To learn fundamentals of computer programming, how to design and implement computer algorithms to solve basic engineering problems in Python programming language.
Course Description This course provides a comprehensive understanding of computer programming. The following topics are covered: Fundamentals of computers and computer programming; variables and data types; control flow and conditionals; functions; loops; methods and debugging; single and multi-dimensional arrays.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Identify, formulate, and solve fundamental computer science and basic engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
2) Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities related to computer science while providing informed judgments under restricted contexts;
3) Further acquire and apply fundamentals of computers and computer programming as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
