3. Content
Students acquire essential technical knowledge regarding computer systems and computer networks. They also gain a deeper understanding of how to practically work with computers and their interfaces (including operating systems, algorithms, programming languages) as well as application challenges (including IT security, digitalization, software engineering).
During the tutorial, students gain basic skills in object-oriented programming in C++ using practical examples. Students have the opportunity to apply these skills in a final group project (in teams of 3), where they program an X-Y plotter built on the Arduino platform in the development environment.
4. Learning objectives
This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the construction, functionality, and application of computer systems and networks. The practical work with computers and their interfaces as well as the use of a programming language and the related development environments provide students with knowledge about the applicability of information technology for specific and professional engineering tasks.
