Textbook

Problem Solving and Program Design in C, 8th edition, Jeri Hanly and Elliot Koffman, Prentice Hall, 2016.

Course Objective

Provide engineering students with basic knowledge of programming in C and problem solving.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

  1. Understand and find the output of simple C programs that incorporate different types of variables, arithmetic and logical expressions, selection, and iteration.

  2. Understand and find the output of more complex C programs containing arrays, and invoking functions having input and output pointer arguments.

  3. Design and implement simple programs using basic syntax of C language such as assignment, expressions, selection, and iteration.

  4. Practice modular programming by developing more complex C programs that include functions, and passing different types of arguments.

Lab Learning Outcomes

  1. Use effectively a software development tool for C programming.

  2. Comprehend theoretical concepts through practical examples.

  3. Strengthen programming capabilities to construct software systems of varying complexity.

  4. Enhance teamwork and communication skills.

  5. Engage in continuing professional development.
