General Course Purpose

EGR 125 is an introductory course in computer programming for engineers. It serves as the standard sequence of minimal programming content for all engineering majors and the first course in a programming sequence for electrical and electrical computer engineers. It is similar to the first course in computer science (CSC 221) with additional engineering programming applications included. Students may not earn credit for both. This course introduces computer software-based problem solving and implementation of solutions in a high-level programming language.
