Course Descriptions

ELT 210 - C/C++ Programming for Electrical Engineering Technology

3 Credits

Introductory course designed to develop problem solving skills using the C/C++ object-oriented programming language. In an increasingly digital and microcontroller-based environment, it is essential that students develop the necessary computational skills to harness emerging technologies in their field. Topics covered include primitive data types and operators, input/output control, decision and loop structures, arrays, strings, functions, classes and objects. Students will learn to work collaboratively in laboratory environment to solve problems and gain hands-on experience utilizing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and a ARM Cortex microcontroller. The course assumes that the student has had an introduction to basic electronic concepts and Boolean algebra.

Prerequisite(s): ELT111, ELT121, ELT112
