(Eng.) Computer Programming
Offering Dept Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Course Type Required Credits 3 Teacher LEE, CHI-EN
Department Department of Computer Science and Engineering/Undergraduate Language English Semester 2026-FALL
Course Description This course introduces the fundamental concepts and practical skills of computer programming using C++. Topics include data types, operators, control structures, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, structures, object-oriented programming, the Standard Template Library (STL), and file input/output.

In addition to fundamental programming skills, the course incorporates Project-Based Learning (PBL) to help students apply computational thinking and programming techniques to real-world interdisciplinary problems. Students will work in teams to develop projects related to areas such as precision medicine and healthcare, digital humanities and cultural heritage, smart tourism and local revitalization, and smart food and dining services. Through problem analysis, requirement identification, system design, program development, testing, and project presentation, students will develop programming, problem-solving, teamwork, and interdisciplinary application skills.

self-directed
learning		    02.Viewing multimedia materials related to industry and academia.
   03.Preparing presentations or reports related to industry and academia.
Students will complete approximately six hours of self-directed learning activities related to their interdisciplinary programming projects. Activities may include reviewing academic or industry-related multimedia materials, investigating application domains and user needs, collecting relevant information and data, conducting independent programming practice, and preparing project reports and presentation materials. Students are encouraged to explore real-world applications in healthcare, digital humanities, tourism, food services, or other interdisciplinary domains and integrate their findings into the design and implementation of their final projects.
Evaluation
1. Programming Exercises and Assignments: 20%
2. Quizzes and Fundamental Programming Assessment: 15%
3. Project Proposal and Requirement Analysis: 15%
4. Project Implementation and Software Development: 25%
5. Final Project Presentation and Demonstration: 15%
