This subject does not have pre-requisites since it is a first year subject.
It is a basic core subject associated with the specific competence described in the Annexe of order CIN/351/2009, of 9-02-2009, which establishes the conditions that must be met by study plans that lead to the acquisition of titles that qualify for the exercise of the different regulated professions of the Industrial Engineer title.
Computing, and the topics addressed in the subject, are part of the current necessary knowledge required by all engineering disciplines: basic knowledge of operating systems, database management, and mainly of structured programming (algorithms and data types).
Personal computers have evolved into an indispensable tool to all engineering and technology students and professionals. More specifically, the knowledge of programming languages and the ability to develop algorithms to solve problems are of great interest in any of the branches of industrial engineering.
The subject is specially relevant for the understanding of later years subjects such as Industrial Computing or Control. It is also needed in applications of any of the Industrial Engineering degrees such as structure design using finite elements (Mechanical Engineering), load flows calculation (Electrical Engineering), and data acquisition or control systems (Industrial Electronic and Automation Engineering).
