Industrial Programming

• Install and configure a programming development environment.
• Identify and explain core programming concepts, including syntax, data types, operators, and basic I/O, to understand software functionality.
• Apply decision-making structures (e.g., if, switch) and loops (e.g., for, while) to analyze and control automation logic.
• Understand and describe object-oriented principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to support structured software design.
• Document classes and their relationships using UML to communicate system architecture.

Problem-based teaching with flipped classroom.

Programming tasks motivate the theory introduced during the semester and form the foundation for the project work and the oral exam. During the 13 weeks, you can work in pairs for mutual assistance. The final project is carried out in larger groups.

Before each lecture, preparatory materials such as readings and quizzes will be provided. The lecture starts with an interactive session and ends with individual feedback.
