Cou
Programming Logic and Design introduces students to the fundamental concepts of

algorithm development, problem-solving strategies, and the foundational principles of

computer programming. The course emphasizes structured and modular programming

techniques through pseudocode, flowcharts, and control structures such as sequence,

selection, and iteration. Students learn how to analyze problems, decompose them into

manageable parts, and design logical solutions applicable in a variety of programming

languages. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, the course cultivates

analytical thinking and prepares students for success in advanced programming and

software development coursework.
