EECE 2140 — Computing Fundamentals for Engineers
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springtypical days: FBostonTraditional
Engages students in problem solving from an engineering perspective, offering essential computer hardware and software knowledge and experience. Computational problem solving involves expressing solutions to engineering problems in a way that a computer can efficiently solve. As our world continues to become more automated and interconnected, it becomes increasingly important to be able to leverage computer software and hardware, enabling us to evaluate and solve real-world engineering challenges. Offers students an opportunity to learn engineering solution design, leveraging a high-level programming language appropriate for interfacing hardware-based systems. Stresses best practices in design. Coursework includes programming assignments, quizzes, and a final project, offering students a number of ways to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts.
