CCPG1043 Computer Science Required
Programming Fundamentals Taught 4 times (2024–2025)
The course presents students with strategies to solve common problems in various professional fields through the design and implementation of solutions based on the use of a programming language. It covers the basic principles so that the student can read and write programs; emphasizing the design and analysis of algorithms. In addition, it introduces students to the use of development and debugging tools.
Topics Covered
Evaluation activities Introduction to programming Variables and data types (strings and lists) Functions Control structures Data collections N-dimensional arrays Files: Input/Output Data processing
Instruction Outcomes
- Apply computational methods to solve problems in their field of study using a programming language
- Use computational tools to model and understand data
- Apply recipe algorithms in problem solving
- Use a development environment to write and debug programs
- Use modularization to simplify the structure of a program
Student Outcomes
- 5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
- 2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
