Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2025-26

Objectives:

  • Develop the ability to identify, analyse and interpret problems that can be solved by programming, and design elementary algorithms suitable for their solution, regardless of the programming language used.
  • Acquire the necessary knowledge to understand and interpret the fundamental components of programming languages, such as variables, data types, control structures and basic principles of recursion.
  • Learn to apply structured programming techniques for the implementation of simple algorithms, in order to create correct, efficient, organised, well-documented and easy-to-understand programs.


Learning outcomes:

  • Development of autonomous and creative problem solving skills: The student will be able to approach problems proactively, making informed decisions and applying innovative solutions, demonstrating autonomy in the resolution process.
  • Professional communication skills: The student will acquire the ability to communicate effectively the knowledge, skills and competences of the profession of Multimedia Engineer, both orally and in writing, adapting their discourse to the context and audience.
