Learning outcomes

After passed course the student is expected to be able to:

  • utilize computers to solve technical problems
  • break down problems into smaller manageable problems
  • create user friendly and well-structured programs
  • discuss concepts in computer science with correct terms
  • find and use right technique for a given problem
  • utilize Matlab for graphic utilization.

In more details the student is expected to be able to:

  • utilize right technique to manage error caused by unsuitable program inputs
  • create flexible programs
  • find and use right data structure and technique for a given problem
  • write technical documentation for your own programs.

Course main content

Introduction to how a computer works and introduction to computer hardware. Programming in a modern programming language (Python). Computer science concepts such as structures for algorithms and data. Principles for data abstraction, modularization, and program structuring.

During the second year the theoretical knowledge is applied in a programming project.
