ENGG1810: Introduction to Engineering Computing
This unit is an essential starting point for engineers to learn the knowledge and skills of computer programming, using a procedural language.Crucial concepts include defining data types, control flow, iteration, and functions. Studentswill learn to translate a general engineering problem into a computer program. This unit trains students in the software development process, which includes programming, testing and debugging.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Develop programs to solve problems using computers.
- LO2. Employ conventions for writing consistently readable code.
- LO3. Compose a structured algorithmic design to solve a specified problem.
- LO4. Apply fundamental programming principles including data types, variables and operators, flow-control: simple statements, sequences, if-then-else, loops, functions, input/output and arrays; to produce a program that solves a specified problem.
- LO5. Compose, analyse, and trace procedural code to determine the expected output of a given program or produce a specified output.
- LO6. Apply testing methods and assess programs through debugging with the ability to write a set of tests for a small program or function
- LO7. Understand standard modules and packages in Python
- LO8. Read and interpret different input formats to produce the desired outcome.
- LO9. Apply basic numerical methods including numerical integration, curve fitting, root solving/optimisation and the least squares method
- LO10. Write simple functions to perform computational methods including calculation of basic statistics, regression, correlation, searching, sorting on data.
- LO11. Plot in two and three dimensions to produce an appropriate visualization of the data.
