Objetivos
The student will obtain knowledge, skills and proficiency in:
- To learn the conceptual foundations for developing and coding of algorithms in programming languages;
- To develop computer applications in high-level languages;
- Practical application of the course contents in real problems, using the procedural and imperative programming paradigm, and also the object-oriented programming paradigm;
- To develop logical and formal reasoning skills for solving complex problems.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
Upon completion of this curricular unit students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to:
- Apply their (acquired) logical and formal reasoning skills in solving complex problems.
- Develop algorithms and methods to solve real problems, particularly in the field of biomedical sciences.
- Implement software prototypes / informatics solutions applying recent programming paradigms and tools, using the Python language.
Modo de trabalho
Presencial
Pré-requisitos (conhecimentos prévios) e co-requisitos (conhecimentos simultâneos)
Given that it is the first contact with algorithms and data structures, and programming languages in the current curricular plan. This curricular unit introduces procedural and imperative programming and also, the object-oriented paradigm (Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming), being of vital importance for the future graduate / engineer in biomedical technologies. Therefore, students do not need to have prior knowledge regarding computer sciences.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The teaching methodology is essentially based on theoretical-practical classes and laboratories. It is intended that students directly apply the knowledge they will acquire and at the same time stimulate creativity and reasoning with real challenges. Additionally, students have extra-class support, provided through the e-Learning platform.
The Python programming language will be used to support the practical implementation of the theoretical concepts. To this end, the fundamental concepts of the language are taught, using the (i) procedural and imperative, and (ii) object-oriented programming paradigms.
