Engineering Computing

Learning Objectives

This course introduces students to the major concepts behind the development of modern computer software. By its end, a student should be able to:

  • develop and debug a complete computer program including both network communication and graphical user interface components.
  • analyze and explain the behavior of computer programs and modify them based on this understanding.
  • use modern programming tools and environments, including an ability to read API documentation and use new libraries.
  • design a multi-component software application, appropriately taking into account the customer and the user.
  • appropriately document designs and software produced.
