COURSE TEACHING METHODOLOGY

• Teaching Methodology:
o Face-to-Face synchronous teaching on campus
o Students will be guided to supplementary reading material also.
• Lecture Details:
o Since teaching methodology is going to be synchronous, face-to-face on-campus, therefore there will be no pre-recorded lectures.
o Links to related reference material available online from different sources will also be provided from time to time.
o All course related resources will be shared via course site on LMS.
o All course related announcements will be made via course site on LMS.

CLASS DISCUSSION FORUM:

• We will be using Slack / Piazza / LMS for class discussion.
• These systems are highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, the TA, and myself.
• Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff (TAs), I encourage you to post your questions on class discussion board.
• Link to the class discussion board page will be provided later.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides a conceptual and practical introduction to programming. This is a second course in the programming stream. Its focus is
on programming rather than the choice of programming language, with object oriented principles being brought out through the study of ‘C++’.
This course will equip students with tools and techniques to implement a given problem programmatically.

1. Create an appropriate algorithm to illustrate iterative, recursive functions, as well as divide-and-conquer techniques
and use a programming language to implement, test, and debug the algorithm for solving a simple industry problem.

2. Decompose a program for a client that identifies the data components and behaviors of multiple abstract data types
and implementing a coherent abstract data type, with loose coupling between components and behaviors.

3. Design, implement, test, and debug an industry program that uses fundamental programming constructs including
basic computation, simple and file I/O, standard conditional and iterative structures, the definition of functions, and
parameter passing.

4. Present the costs and benefits of dynamic and static data structure implementations, choosing the appropriate data
structure for modeling a given engineering problem.

5. Apply consistent documentation and program style standards for a software engineering company that contribute
to the readability and maintainability of software, conducting a personal and small-team code review on program
component using a provided checklist.
