Introduction

ENGR 103: Engineering Computation and Algorithmic Thinking introduces fundamental programming concepts through C++, with a focus on solving engineering problems. This course bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in engineering computation.

Course Structure

The course is organized into three main components:

1. Lectures: Introduce core programming concepts, from basic syntax to complex problem-solving strategies.
2. Studios: Hands-on sessions where you’ll practice concepts through guided exercises.
3. Assignments: Real-world applications that challenge you to solve engineering problems through programming.

Programming Prerequisites

No prior programming experience is required. However, you should:

• Be comfortable using a computer
• Have basic algebra skills
• Be willing to learn new technical concepts

Success Strategies

• Consistent Practice: Programming is a skill that improves with practice.
• Active Participation: Engage in studios and ask questions during lectures.
• Early Start: Begin assignments early to allow time for debugging.
• Collaboration: Work with peers while maintaining academic integrity.
• Resource Utilization: Take advantage of office hours and course materials.
