ECE 15Engineering Computation: Introduction to Programming in C
Students learn the fundamentals of programming through the C programming language. The course covers foundational universal programming concepts such as control and data structures, and top-down modular design. It also focuses on core building blocks of the C language, such as pointers and memory management. Recommended preparation: A familiarity with basic mathematics such as trigonometry functions and graphing is expected but this course assumes no prior programming knowledge.
