Module Details

Ability to use compilers through an Integrated Development Environment for formulating basic science and engineering problems in a high level computer language.

Ability to understand and use basic numerical algorithms .

Ability to solve engineering problems using computer programming.

Ability to present written and/or oral original homework and (optionally) mini project reports

It is preferable that students have followed the lyceum course ‘Application Development in a Programming Environment’ or the first year elective ChE162 ‘Introduction to Computers’.

Computer Programming and Chemical Engineering. Algorithms: categories, data structures, design techniques, performance analysis. Elements of Fortran 95/2003/2008 with selective presentation of elemental C++. Basic data types, expressions and statements, operator and data type precedence. Flow control structures: conditional branching, case selection, iterative and conditional loops. Input-output statements, file handling. Arrays: elements and sectors, array constructors, subscript triplets, vector subscripts, implied loops. Masked array assignment (where, forall). Procedures: functions, subroutines, elemental and recursive procedures. Dynamic Data Structures: dynamic arrays, allocatable, assumed shape and automatic arrays, pointers, lists. Derived data types. Modules: module procedures, data range and association, procedure interfaces, user defined and overloaded operators, generic procedures. Object Oriented Programming: encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance. Basic algorithm examples: search and sort, random numbers, equation solving, integration, data visualization using Excel and GNUPLOT.

Keywords: Computer Programming, Algorithms, Fortran 2008
