COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to enhance the student’s understanding of basics Programming concept. It introduces planning
and designing of effective programs after writing it down via Visual C++, to the students. All experiences will be
programming-based assignments/tasks and will focus on developing perception and the application of the elements of
C++ programming language.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES (CLOS)

At the end of the course the students will be able to:
1. Understand basic concepts of computer and overview high level programming languages.
2. Analyze various C++ programming languages constraints via visual C++ IDE tool.
3. Understand and implementation of visual C++ concepts.
4. Formulate new solutions for Programming tasks and Understanding Latest Open Source C++ programming
Languages’ tools and Platforms

LEARNING ACTIVITIES SUMMARY

Programming Fundamentals is a 4 credit hours course. The expectation is that students will be spending 5
Workload hours per week working on the course. Three of those hours are theory contact hours; the remainder of the
time should be spent working on practical work.
A selection of these following topics will be covered in this course base:
-Overview of computer, high level programming languages and C++ programming language. [CLO 1]
Learning -Overview and Use of visual C++, implementing through IDE tools. [CLO2].
Activities -Implementing Basic programming, Condition structures, Repetition structures, arrays etc. [CLO4].
-Working on Latest Visual C++ Programming IDE tool. [CLO3].
-Implementing Ideas in Logical Programming Based Assignment. [CLO4].
