Course Objectives
The objectives of this course are to enable the students to understand and explain the principles of Algorithm, Algorithm Design, Flowchart and solving problems in computer
Course Content
This is an introductory course to provide core knowledge and skills for computer programming languages. The course overview the importance of algorithm, algorithm design techniques, flowcharts, visualization of algorithm and flowcharts, I/O concepts, basic data types, variables, operators, decision systems, loops, functions, sorting and searching algorithms, block and text base programming environments.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, undergraduate CEIT students will:
1. Define and describe the basic concepts of Algorithm and Flowcharts
2. Express the relationship between algorithmic design and problem solving in computer.
3. Apply functional decomposition in the design of a program.
4. Develop an algorithmic solution to solve a problem using sequence, selection, and iteration.
5. Use simple data structures, such as arrays and strings, in an algorithmic solution.
6. Demonstrate the use of procedural abstraction through the design and implementation of effective procedures and functions.
7. Construct a readable, well documented, and syntactically correct Python script.
8. Explain the syntax and semantics of a target set of Python language elements.
9. Use UNIX tools to edit, compile, link, and execute a program.
10. Predict the state changes of a program in execution and trace its execution.
