Course descriptions
The course is an introduction course in computer programming and problem solving. The
emphasis is on the general concept of problem solving and programming using state-of-the-art
language like C++ or C# language, algorithm designing using flow chart and pseudo code and
related techniques and program documentation.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
 Fully understand the software development life cycle
 Discuss the importance of algorithms in the problem-solving process
 Design algorithms for solving simple problems
 Use a pseudocode or a programming language to implement test, and debug
algorithms for solving simple problems
 Describe strategies that are useful in program debugging
 Understand and explain the behavior of simple programs involving the
fundamental programming constructs
 Modify and expand short programs that use standard conditional control
structures and functions
 Design, implement, test and debug a program
