ENGR 263 - Introduction to Computing In Electrical Engineering

PREREQUISITES: ENGR 196 - Introduction to Engineering.
PROGRAM: Engineering
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 4
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Introduces basic concepts of computer programming with an emphasis on program decomposition and program structure. Focuses on structured problem- solving using the C++ high-level programming language. Covers number concepts fundamental in electrical engineering. Problems drawn from the field of electrical and computer engineering will require no prior engineering knowledge.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

Develop algorithms to solve Engineering problems, using a step-by-step process.
Use a standard C program development environment.
Use loops selection structures, arrays, functions, and I/O commands in structured C programs.
Read and write C programs that use structures
Use pointers in C programs to allocate memory, and to access data and structures
Read and write C programs that use dynamic data structures
Read and write C programs that read and write files
Use pass by value and pass by reference to exchange data between functions.
Use a standard C Program Development Environment
