SAB 3413 : Computer programming

SYNOPSIS

This course is designed to expose the students on the development of programming skill using a computer language, which is suitable for the current computer operating system.   It will emphasize on the general concept of computer programming that includes steps of problem solving using computer, algorithm and program logic tools, interface design, modularization, arrays, files and graphics.  Examples, assignments and group projects related to various civil engineering fields are given to the students.  At the end of the course, the student should be able to plan, analyse, and write computer programs for basic civil engineering applications.
