Intended Outcomes for the course

Upon completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网 algorithms to solve engineering problems by applying engineering methods.

  2. Implement algorithms for engineering applications using a programming environment. 

  3. Identify and use relevant software packages and tools to solve engineering problems.

  4. Communicate technical concepts effectively through written, oral, digital or visual presentation.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

The student's grade will be based upon understanding of course material as demonstrated by:

1.  Weekly code uploads on course content for the week

2.  A comprehensive midterm exam with program writing and a Quiz,  and a  final exam(s) with a project covering all programming constructs and a Quiz

3.  Proper and timely completion of lab projects that demonstrate effective use of concepts and tools.

The instructor will discuss evaluation procedures during the first week of the course. Specific evaluation procedures will be given to the student in writing in the form of a course handout.
