Description

This course will prepare first-year engineering students to use the computer and computer programming as tools for use in their engineering course and future employment. Students will gain: an awareness of what a computing system consists of and broadly how a computer works; an introductory knowledge of some computing packages that will be useful for studies; an introductory knowledge of the structured approach to problem solving using a computer; a working familiarity with the engineering language/environment MATLAB, and the ability to employ it for problem solving.
