Introduction to Programming for Computer Engineering (Winter 20/21)

Language: English
Type: 3 Ü
Module: tbd
Target audience: Bachelor and Master students in the Management and Technology programs with the specialization Computer Engineering (TUM School of Management)
Registration: You must fill out the following survey to participate in this course: https://wiki.tum.de/display/progce21/Application
Course Material: You can find slides and exercises on Artemis
Time and Location:
- 2 week block course (half-day): Monday 15.03.21 - Friday, 26.03.21
- Virtual tutor groups each day: 9:00 - 10:30 and 14:00 - 15:30
- You work on programming exercises on your own in-between

Exercises are based on interaction; we expect active participation!
Important: This pre-course cannot be used to obtain credit points (ECTS) for studies at TUM
- Students can earn a certificate (PDF) by completing the exercises successfully
No prior experience in programming is required
Participation in the course is voluntary and does not count towards ECTS in the degree program, but is strongly recommended for all students in this specialization

Use an IDE (e.g. Eclipse) to compile, debug and run code
Understand Java syntax, create variables, write conditional statements (e.g. if and switch) and control structures (e.g. for and while loops)
Use Java’s data types (e.g. Boolean, Integer, Long, Float, Double, String) and operators (e.g. =, ==, !=, <, >)
Create and invoke methods
Understand the differences between static and non static methods
Understand how to use collection types (e.g. Array, List, Set, Map, Stack) with generics
Understand the differences between compile time and runtime, and between compile time types and runtime types
Understand the differences between classes and objects
Create classes, instantiate objects, use attributes, methods, constructors and associations
Use modifiers to apply information hiding
Apply the concepts of encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance
Write abstract classes and interfaces
Understand the differences between overriding and overloading
Apply simple exception handling techniques (try catch)
Understand simple lambda expressions (stream, filter, map, reduce, forEach, collect)
Understand simple UML class diagrams

The focuses is on exercises:

Students learn programming concepts in hands-on sessions in small tutor groups
Students immediately apply the learned knowledge in small coding exercises (playgrounds)
Students solve programming exercises on their own
