This course provides a conceptual and practical introduction to programming. The focus is on programming rather than the particular choice of programming language, with general principles being brought out through the study of ‘C/C++’. This course will equip students with tools and techniques to implement a given problem programmatically.

• To teach programming fundamentals to students
• To help students analyze and solve programming problems
• To prepare students in programming for later courses with programming intensive content

• Enabling Knowledge: The process of designing algorithmic solutions to computable problems; the syntax and control structures of a programming
  language i.e. C++, which enable you to code these algorithmic solutions using standard coding conventions
  Critical Thinking and Analysis: Ability to analyze the requirements for solving simple algorithmic problems.
  Problem Solving: Ability to design and implement programs to solve simple algorithmic computing problems, based on analysis of the
  requirements.
  Communication: Ability to explain key concepts of algorithmic design, in written form, to IT specialists.
  Responsibility: Ability to apply relevant standards and ethical considerations to writing computer programs. Developing an awareness of the role and responsibility the individual has with regard to their own learning
