III. Course Description:

This course is an introductory course aims to provide students with basic programming
concepts as well as problem-solving in computer programming for different applications and
issues related to computer engineering & controls. It covers the following subjects: Python
variables, basic operators, and blocks, Numeric and string data types, defining list and list
slicing, use of tuple data type, Program control flow: conditional blocks using variant if
statements and variant loop statements, loop manipulation using continue, & break, reusability
concept with functions and organizing projects with modules and packages, String, List and
Dictionary Manipulations, File manipulation, Regular Expressions, and Introduction to Object-
Oriented Programming (OOP). Throughout computer-based lab works, students will develop
problem-solving skills using programming techniques.

IV. Intended learning outcomes (ILOs) of the course:

Brief summary of the knowledge or skill the course is intended to develop:
1- Define the fundamentals of computer programming using Python language and its
basics: keywords, variables and data types, reusability with functions and Object-
Oriented Programming (OOP).
2- Acquire knowledge of programs basic blocks, control statements, functions, modules,
packages, and files.
3- Interpret the fundamental Python syntax and semantics and be fluent in the use of
Python control flow statements.
4- Express proficiency in the handling of various data types, strings and functions.
5- Determine the methods to create and manipulate Python programs by utilizing the data
structures like lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets.
6- Identify the commonly used operations involving file systems and regular expressions.
7- Develop problem-solving skills and applying them to different engineering problems.
8- Conduct searches on solutions for engineering problems from engineering and non-
engineering domains.
