Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended 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.
