The course is designed to expose the engineering students to the basic of computer including hardware and software; practice software development method and develop students skills in constructing C language for solving a given problem. It will also emphasize on the practicing of problem design by using algorithm such as flowchart and pseudo code. For the C programming, it will cover data types, operators, simple functions, selection structures, repetition structures and top-design with functions. At the end of the course, student should be able to demonstrate and apply the knowledge to solve problems and construct C programming.
