Developing An Introductory Software Programming Course For Engineering Students
Scott Schneider · 2020
The ability to effectively develop software programs, from complex software systems to simple macros, is becoming increasingly important in all engineering disciplines.Educators have realized this need, and likewise have included software programming in many engineering curriculums.The initial course in software programming has historically focused on learning the syntax for a single programming language instead of the skills of logical and algorithmic thinking and the processes for software development.This paper presents a stepped process for introducing software programming to engineering technology students.
