This course aims to cultivate the following core competencies for students:
- Bachelor’s Program in Information Technology Application and Innovation Capability
- Master’s Program in International Communication and Integration Capability
Course objectives:
The main focus of the Information Management program is to learn about the technology related to information and management, while programming is an introductory course to the knowledge related to information. For students who have just come from high school, this is a challenging course. However, many people enjoy playing video games and are familiar with various apps on their smartphones. While enjoying the convenience and fun of these apps, have you ever thought about where they come from? Every application or software requires a process of “writing code” to produce it. This course teaches how to write code.
Of course, after completing this course, you may not be able to write a software program like Pokémon, but you will receive good training and enhancement in the basics, application, and innovation capability of information technology. Additionally, as application software has already broken the barriers between international countries, every country in the world uses the same application software, and programming has become an international language. The other goal of this course, besides strengthening technical development and logical thinking, is to lead students in learning how to analyze and solve problems independently when facing programming assignments.
