1. ECE 103 Engineering Programming Chapter 1 Introduction Herbert G. Mayer, PSU CS Status 6/19/2015 Initial content copied verbatim from ECE 103 material developed by Professor Phillip Wong @ PSU ECE

2. Syllabus What’s This Blue Code? Should I take this course? Specific Outcomes Course Prerequisites Course Material Other Reference Material Course Grading How Hard is This Class, really?

3. 2 What’s This Blue Code? int main( /* no params */ ) { // main /* use C IO function to prrrrint printrf( “Hello world’ ); } //end mian

4. 3 What’s This Blue Code? This only looks like C, but is riddled with errors 1. No library was included via #include 2. String literal was not terminated with a “ 3. The end of output not followed by a ‘\n’ 4. The assumed printf() was mis-spelled 5. The comment /* was n ot */ terminated 6. No main() return value was given... and so on But at least you started thinking about C

5. 4 Some Better Code #include int main( /* no params */ ) { // main /* use C output function */ printf( “Hello world.\n” ); return 0;// 0: no error } //end main

6. 5 ECE 103 Engineering Programming, Summer ‘15 Instructor:Dr. Herbert G. Mayer Office:FAB 40-06 Hours:Mondays, Wednesdays 16:45 – 19:05 E-Mail:herb@cs.pdx.eduherb@cs.pdx.edu Grader:bkarthik@pdx.edubkarthik@pdx.edu URL:http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~herb/ click ECE103http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~herb/ Term:Summer 2015 Detail:Important, for you to read handout 1

7. 6 Should I take this course? Electrical Engineering majors Yes– (ECE 102 or CS 161 equivalent), then ECE 103 Computer Engineering majors No– (ECE 102 or CS 161), then CS 162, CS 163 Computer Science majors No– Take CS 161, CS 162, CS 163 (unless you want hardware interfacing experience)

8. 7 Specific Outcomes Students will develop the ability to: Identify and follow the software design process Use the C programming language to solve medium complex problems in engineering, math, and physics Apply programming skills to create control software for real-world sensors and actuators Document a project via a technical report

9. 8 Course Prerequisites Algebra and trigonometry (MTH 111 or equivalent) ECE 102 Engineering Computation (recommended) Access to a C programming language environment  FREE: Sign up for an MCECS Windows account → theCAT Help Desk: FAB 82-01  FREE:Various free C compilers → Download from websites

12. 11 Course Grading 40% Homework Assignments, 4 total in the summer 40% Midterm in class, open book, about week 6 20% Project; Must complete; else best grade way below A Grading scale below, with + and – at the 15% boundary for next grade, except there is no A+

13. 12 How Hard is This Class, really? Do not assume ECE 103 is easy or simple just because it is a 100-level course You will have to spend a lot of time writing programs and learning software tools Start your assignments today
