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 individually

so 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, and
• 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. Basic XHTML and XML. Development of web applications with Python’s web modules. Several small programming exercises and one larger, individual programming exercise with emphasis on structuring and specification of the modules being used.

Eligibility

For single course students: completed upper secondary education including documented proficiency in Swedish corresponding to Swedish B, English corresponding to English A. Furthermore: 7,5 hp in mathematics and 6 hp in computer science or programming techniques.

Prerequisites

High school mathematics (scientific program). Some computer experience (the concepts of operating system and file and experience from one computer application, e.g. word processing). Mathematics I.
