EGN 160 - Introduction to Programming: The C Language

The C language has been used extensively for performance intensive tasks required in engineering and has found increased usage in embedded systems. C and its dialects (e.g. C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python) are employed in the vast majority of programming tasks and applications. As such, it is one of the few programming languages that is defined as an ANSI/ISO standard. This course will cover the fundamentals of programming and the C language and/or its dialects. No prior knowledge of C is required. This is a 4-credit course and includes a laboratory component. Engineering students may use this course to satisfy the Computer Programming requirement. Lecture 4 hrs., Lab 1 hr.
