At present this course is not scheduled to be offered.

Learning outcomes

The goal of the course is to give the students

  • computer practice, ability to write well structured programs, and knowledge of fundamental computer concepts,
  • practice in solving construction problems and in working in small groups as well as individuallyso that they will
  • consider computers and programming to be natural tools in the engineering work
  • see the similarities between program construction and other types of construction work,
  • be able to do some programming.

Course main content

Fundamental computer concepts.

Programming in a modern programming language (Python). Data structures. Simple graphics. Problem solving by dividing the problem into sub-problems. Program structuring. Several small programming exercises and one larger, individual programming exercise with emphasis on structuring and specification of the modules being used.

Disposition

This course is read entirely in your own speed over the net. The exception is the final oral presentation  that takes place at KTH, Vallhallavägen, Stockholm.
The computer excercises are done over the net and also presented at the final oral presentation.
