BEPE1700 Fundamentals of programming Course description

Emnet gir en innføring i programmering, med Python som programmeringsspråk.

Eivind Johnsen;

Ingen utover opptakskrav.

Etter å ha gjennomført dette emnet har studenten følgende læringsutbytte, definert som kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten:

• forstår problemløsning ved hjelp av programmering
• kjenner til innebygd funksjonalitet i programmeringsspråket
• har grunnleggende kjennskap til programmering med bruk av datastrukturer, funksjoner, og vektoriserte beregninger

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan:

• skrive programmer for å løse beregningsorienterte problemstillinger.
• finne og rette feil i egne programmer samt være i stand til å sette seg inn i andres kildekode.

Generell kompetanse

Studenten kan:

• bruke Python til å løse relevante beregningsorienterte problemer innen sitt fagfelt.
• tilegne seg og ta i bruk ny programmeringskunnskap.
• forstå dokumentasjon om grunnleggende programmering og kommunisere med andre programmerere.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• has in-depth knowledge of calculation methods for statically;determinate and indeterminate structures
• has broad knowledge of the functions of a selection of common structures
• is familiar with the design process and relevant standards
• is familiar with bracing principles for buildings
• is familiar with the design principles for steel-, timber- and concrete structures

Skills

The student is capable of:

• performing buckling calculations for simple constructions with axial loads
• applying the unit load method to calculate statically indeterminate structures and calculating deformation using the reduction postulate
• analysing simple frames using the moment distribution method
• analysing influence lines for statically determinate structures
• designing appropriate wind bracing
• determining relevant loads and load combinations in accordance with standards
• designing simple;steel-, timber- and concrete cross sections
• performing simple static calculations using computer program;

General competence

The student is capable of:

• planning and carrying out the first design phase for a building, including assessment of the;load distribution to the different;structures
• assessing and analysing various load-bearing systems
• evaluating and verifying the output from computer program

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 4 of 8;individual calculation exercises
• 1 group assignment in data lab, 5-10 page report
• 1 group assignment in practical lab, 5-10 page report

Individual written exam, 3;hours

The result of the exam can be appealed.

A resit or rescheduled exam may take the form of an oral exam. If oral exams are used for resits or rescheduled exams, the exam results cannot be appealed.

All aids enclosed with the exam question paper, printed and written aids, and a handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
