Learning Outcomes

1 - Understand and apply the fundamental programming concepts related to Computer Science Programming..
2 - Solve computationally a problem, focusing on algorithmic modeling, identifying its requirements, analyzing it, design an algorithm for its solution and elaborate a test plan.
3 - Structure the problems in modules, design algorithms, reuse existing
modules and implement the solution in Visual Basic.
4 - Use indexed data structures
5 - Integrate the acquired knowledge in solving real problems and make
value judgments on quality and performance of their solutions, promoting attitude of active learning, persistent work and also application of critical analysis in problem resolution.
