Aim:
Advanced software simulation for design, construction and calculation are now common components in engineering. These simulation tools are also programming platforms and writing code enable the engineer to generate, visualize, and seek solutions using algorithms. Programming can become a basis for computational thinking in design, construction and calculation where the engineer writes programs to address creative tasks.
The purpose of the course is that students acquire basic knowledge in programming and develop an understanding for the role of programming in modern engineering. After completing the course, students should be able to:
�?� design and implement simple algorithms in a programming / scripting language (such as Python) commonly used in design and construction simulation
�?� explain basic concepts in programming and computational thinking, and
�?� describe how scripts can be used to generate and explore alternative design solutions for engineering tasks.
