The objective of this course is for engineering students and other professionals to acquire computing skills for solving computational problems in engineering, science and business, such as simulation, numerical methods, process control and information management.

Topics covered include:

introduction to computer architectures and networks, effective use of web resources, data analysis and data management using office tools such as spreadsheets and databases, use of programming structures to customise solutions and for presentation of information. Introduction to emerging technologies and how they may be exploited to produce innovative solutions.

This course is designed as a stand-alone course for students who want some background in computing, but who do not intend to study further computing courses.

Many Engineering degrees specify this as the standard first year computing course. After studying ENGG1811, if you decide to take more computing, you will need to progress via COMP1911 or COMP1917.
