This subject introduces the fundamental concepts of computer programming with an emphasis on solving simple problems using a programming language. In the first half of the unit the basics of the C/C++ language are taught, including operators, functions and loops. In addition, weekly programming exercises in an online compiler enable students to practice and learn key concepts. In the second half of the subject a microcontroller environment is introduced, and the focus turns to developing embedded software. In the major project students will be required to research and apply their knowledge to a real-world application using a microcontroller development board.
