1 FACULTY OF COMPUTER AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA PULAU PINANG PROGRAMME Degree in Civil Engineering (EC221) COURSE/CODE Introduction to Computer Programming / CSC425 CREDIT HOUR 3 CONTACT HOUR Lecture 2H/week Lab 2 H/week PART 4 SEMESTER MAC-JUNE 2014 COURSE OUTCOME After completing this course, the student should Define the proper procedures to design algorithm and write good-quality program (e.g using C++) Describe the basic elements of a programming language Apply good problem-solving techniques to write any programming language Use the basic logic constructs that will serve as models for any program development COURSE DESCRIPTION The course is intended to introduce students to the steps in problem solving. Student will study the basic concepts of structured programming (preferably using C++ programming language and compiler) to understand the software development and programming process. The aim is to produce students who understand the fundamental ideas of computer programming and algorithms and able to implement the problem solution using C++ programming language. TEACHING METHODOLOGY Class lectures Practical sessions will be conducted in the computer lab. Notes CSC 425 module (for degree in civil engineering) 2nd Edition Software Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
