Slide 2 of 4

This course aims to: Provide understanding of problem-solving concepts, and introduction of problem-solving process.

Give in-depth understanding of programming language generations, and introduce several programming languages and technology that previously and presently exist.
Expose students to the six steps of Programming Life Cycle which can later be utilized in any program development. Introduce basic programming concepts and how they are put into practice to use, store, process, instruct, and manage data efficiently to enable the data to operate smoothly in any programming language. Demonstrate and differentiate the differing ways of controlling the flow of program coding instructions that are to be executed by computer.

At the end of this course, students should be able to: Define problem and organize the correct problem-solving processes.

Identify the six generations of programming language, and differentiate several technology languages that we have until today.
State the six steps of programming life cycle, and create problem analysis and design before translating it into simple programming coding. Recognize the correct ways to compute data and implement it in a simple program coding. Identify a suitable logical structure that controls the flow of instructions in simple program coding.
