Course Description: A first course in computer science for science and
engineering majors. The programming languages C++ and the Matlab software will be used to teach
structured
programming and algorithm development. Topics include control
structures, data typing, including arrays and matrix manipulations, parameterized
procedures, and as well as simple I/O control.
Learning Goals:
The focus
of this course is on scientific problem solving through the use of computational methods. . By the end of the course students are
expected show their
understanding of structured programming as well as algorithm
development while dealing the course topics.
Performance Goals:
The course will use a combination of lecture with lab work where
students use C++ language and Matlab to develop their proficiency in computational problem
solving skills.
