CSC 2230: Computer Programming for Engineers (2024-2025)

View all CSC classes

A fast-paced introduction to computer programming focused on engineering and science analyses and designs using a programming language (like Python) or software tool (like MATLAB). Provides practical, structured programming and problem-solving skills focused on techniques for numerical solutions to engineering and science problems when no analytical solution exists. Fundamental programming topics include data types, inputs/outputs, variables, matrices, decisions, looping and subroutines, built-in and user-defined functions, files, and plotting. Simultaneously, this course covers key aspects of modeling and error analysis, roots and optimization, linear systems, numerical integration and differentiation, and ordinary differential equations. This course does not serve as the prerequisite to CSC 2430.
