Introduction to Computer Programming (Python, R, C, Java)

SRIPIAN PEERAYA
Course description
Programming is an essential step for engineers to implement novel ideas, analyze data, or perform tests and experiments. Therefore, this course aims at introducing the fundamental principles of computer programming. To this end, students will learn how to write computer programs and to develop algorithms to solve complex problems for engineers. This class will teach pre-requisites for learning programming skills. It will first focus on the data structures commonly used in programming and the manipulation of data with computers. This class will rely on up-to-date programming languages widely used in the industry and R&D departments such as Python, R, C, or Java. Practical Tutorials and exercises with computers will also be provided during this class.

****************************************************************************************************
The programming language used in this class is C.
****************************************************************************************************
In Fall 2023, this class will be conducted mainly face-to-face, but the class will also be broadcast in real-time using zoom.
The class will also be recorded for future reference.
Online participation is allowed only for students not residing in Japan due to the covid pandemic immigration restriction.
Online participation must follow the procedure issued by SIT. Please contact the student affair for the procedure.

Evaluation method and criteria
"Assignment (25%), Midterm exam (20%), Final exam (30%), and Small Quiz and In-class activities (25%) are the criteria of the grade. More than 60% of the total score is needed for getting the course credit.
<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one-third of the total number of classes, the credit of this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class whatever the reason, e.g. sickness, delay of public transportation systems, forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as an absence.
