Course content
The course consists of two parts: ICT theory (1/3) and basic procedure-oriented programming in Python (2/3). ICT theory: Basics of computer structure and operation. Digital representation of information. Networking and communication. Procedure-oriented programming: Variables and data types. Input and output. Control structures: Sequence, selection, and repetition. Structuring and division of programs; functions and modules. Data structures: Lists, tables, text strings, quantities, tuples and records (dictionary). File management, persistent storage of information, and exceptions. Representation of numbers, simple processing and visualization of measurement data and iterative solution of simple equations. Python as a programming environment.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Hold basic knowledge about information and communication technology (ICT): Computers, digital representation of information, algorithms, software, communication and networks.
Hold basic knowledge about the basic elements of procedure-oriented programming.
Hold basic knowledge about the process from a problem to a working program.
Skills:
Be able to use the basic elements in practical, procedure-oriented programming.
Be able to use relevant programming tools, like IDLE or other syntax-driven editors with semantic error-tagging and step-wise execution with inspection of variables.
For small-scale problems, be able to use the process from analysis, via algorithm design formulated as pseudo code or in flow-charts, before programming with the right data structures in Python, and testing whether the solution works.
Be able to carry out small programming projects with a few hundred lines of code.
Be able to do simple analysis of how ICT systems work, for example related to information security.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercise lectures, mandatory exercises, and a small mandatory project.
