Objective

Purpose:
The operation of society is based on utilization of information technology where various processes of society are regulated at many levels with data. Data always describes some phenomenon or event for the interpretation of which algorithms are needed. In this course, the focus is on planning, implementation and testing of computational algorithms.

EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and understanding 
Engineering practice

Learning outcomes:
You have defined a problem that requires computational algorithms. You have processed data that is essential to solving the problem. You know how to design an algorithm to solve a computational problem and you have implemented and tested the algorithm in practice. You know how to optimize an algorithm and you know the limitations related to the use of the algorithm in terms of data and the problem to be solved.

Content

Objectives

Purpose:
The operation of society is based on utilization of information technology where various processes of society are regulated at many levels with data. Data always describes some phenomenon or event for the interpretation of which algorithms are needed. In this course, the focus is on planning, implementation and testing of computational algorithms.

EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and understanding 
Engineering practice

Learning outcomes:
You have defined a problem that requires computational algorithms. You have processed data that is essential to solving the problem. You know how to design an algorithm to solve a computational problem and you have implemented and tested the algorithm in practice. You know how to optimize an algorithm and you know the limitations related to the use of the algorithm in terms of data and the problem to be solved.

Harjoitustöiden tekemisessä hyödynnetään Anaconda ohjelmistoa (Python 3.7-versio tai uudempi): https://www.anaconda.com/download/

Teaching methods

Kurssilla tutustutaan laskennallisten algoritmien soveltamiseen liittyvään teoriaan, minkä pohjalta tehdään arvioitavat harjoitustyöt. Harjoitustyöt tehdään yksilötöinä, mutta vertaistukea on tarjolla kurssin Teams – ryhmästä. Kurssin voi suorittaa täysin virtuaalisesti.
