COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides a conceptual and practical introduction to programming. The focus is on programming rather than the particular choice of
programming language, with general principles being brought out through the study of ‘C++’. This course will equip students with tools and
techniques to implement a given problem programmatically.

COURSE PREREQUISITE(S)

CS 100

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. To teach programming fundamentals to students

2. To help students analyze and solve programming problems
3. To prepare students advanced topics to help them in later programming-intensive courses

Learning Outcomes
1 Enabling Knowledge: The process of designing algorithmic solutions to computable problems; the syntax and control structures
of a programming language i.e. C++, which enable you to code these algorithmic solutions using standard coding conventions
2 Critical Thinking and Analysis: Ability to analyze the requirements for solving simple algorithmic problems.
3 Problem Solving: Ability to design and implement programs to solve simple algorithmic computing problems, based on analysis
of the requirements.
4 Communication: Ability to explain key concepts of algorithmic design, in written form, to IT specialists.
