II. COURSE DESCRIPTION


The purpose of this course is to train students in the use of programming languages so they can be applied
in later courses and professional career. This course deals with subjects such as: algorithms, standard
functions, decision, repetition, selection and control instructions, array, functions and pointers. Students
develop computer programs applied to diverse engineering problems.

III. COURSE OUTCOMES


1. Understand the steps for solving computer programming problems.
2. Analyze and design algorithms for solving a specific problem.
3. Develop programs using a programming language in the solution of problems of practical cases
applied to engineering projects.
4. Understand step by step the developing of computer programs.
5. Properly use programming languages for the scientific and technological research.

Lab 4: Functions and pointers.

VI. METHODOLOGY
Sessions will be carried out stimulating students’ active participation, through practical cases programming.
Students will form groups for researching and exchanging learning and work experiences. The instructor’s
expositions will guide every programming work and they will also advised be individually and in groups
using real applications. Lab practical sessions will complement knowledge and develop students’ skills and
abilities in problem solving through programming language techniques. Papers’ originality and creativity will
be motivated encouraging a constant research.

VII. EVALUATION FORMULA


The average grade PF is calculated as follows:

PF = 0.25 EP + 0.50 EF + 0.15 PP + 0.10 PL

EP: Mid-Term Exam EF: Final Exam


PP: Average of five quizzes PL: Average of four laboratory reports
