Software Development I

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to able to formally state a problem, devise an algorithm to solve the problem, and translate the algorithm into a program using an appropriate programming language; understand the programming environment (IDE/Editor); understand the use of different programming constructs (Sequence, Selection, Repetition) for different purposes; able to execute and debug a program, device a program testing strategy and to evaluate and measure algorithm/program design.

Topics

This course introduces the next level of programming courses, which assume that students are already capable of solving computer programming problems. Topics covered in this course includes problem analysis, algorithm development, simple program design techniques, study of a contemporary programming language, use of a computer environment and appropriate system software.
