Which programming language should I learn for first year engineering?

Python is always recommended if you’re looking for an easy and even fun programming language to learn first. Rather than having to jump into strict syntax rules, Python reads like English and is simple to understand for someone who’s new to programming.

Should I start learning programming with C?

You can start programming in C. However, if you’ve never programmed before, it’s almost certainly going to be much easier to learn a higher-level language to begin with. And unless your interest in programming lies in a few narrow areas like operating systems, it’s unlikely you’ll want to use C in the future.

Do engineers need to learn coding?

The vast majority of mechanical engineering does not require coding. Machine studies and design do not involve any coding or programming. Mechanical engineers are not programmers. To become an engineer, it is critical to learn about materials and processes rather than coding.

How can I get better at programming as a computer engineering student?

Many of your fellow computer engineering students will have already done a lot of programming, so you may already be behind the curve. This is a good time to start catching up. The only way to get good at programming is to do a lot of it. The more time you spend programming in the next few years, the better you will be at it.

What are the prerequisites for a C programming course?

If this is an introductory programming course in a non Computer Science degree, e.g.: Electrical Engineering offering a ‘C programming course’. Then no prior knowledge is needed because they are going to teach you everything you need to know, that is the basics of algorithms and the C language itself.

What is the best programming language to start with?

Likewise, some languages do things better than others. Learn Python for dynamic programming, simple object oriented programming techniques, and proper indentation. Learn javascript + JQuery or Lua to learn about closures. Learn Java or C# to learn about static typing.

How do I start learning programming from a university level?

Check the website of your target university and look at the lower-division class catalog or instructor syllabus webpage for introductory programming classes. Look for the programming language being taught and see what kind of things are covered in the first class. Try to read up on that material before you start.
