Course detail

Computers and Programming 2

FEKT-BPA-PC2SAcad. year: 2021/2022

Course is focused on the algorithm development and the structure of assigned tasks. Students learn to choose a suitable program for their implementation. The base of structured programming are presented by the programming language C and Wiring. The students obtain the practical experince in the implementation of tasks in Microsoft Visual studio and Arduino IDE. Second part of the course is focused on the programming in MATLAB. The available libraries and simulated tools are presented with respect to the power engineering. Third part of the course is devoted to the visual programming in LabView. The base principles of the algorithm realization are introduced and also linking of the user interface of an application.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The student is able to:
- explain the function of the C language statements,
- describe the properties of the basic data types,
- propose a structure for the representation of complex data,
- use functions included in the standard libraries,
- propose an algorithm working with multi-dimensional and one-dimensional array,
- propose an algorithm to sort a list of values,
- create a library of functions,
- create an interactive application.

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required. Further the basic knowledge of working with files in the Microsoft Windows environment is desirable.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Techning methods include lectures and computer laboratories laboratories. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

up to 22 points from laboratories (2 points for the task in 11 exercises)
up to 20 from tests during semester
up to 28 points for the final test at the end of the semester
up to 30 points for an individual project
To pass the course it is necessary to develop an individual project.
