Programming for Engineers

This lecture introduces programming concepts for engineering students, focusing on practical skills such as writing programs, using languages like C, Matlab, and LabView, debugging, good programming practices, and project work. The instructor emphasizes the importance of learning to work cleanly and efficiently, ensuring programs remain functional in the long term. The lecture covers topics like debugging tools, project requirements, and the importance of documentation and good coding practices. Students will work on a semester-long project involving solving a Sudoku puzzle, learning to exchange information between programs, and enhancing their programming skills.
