The proposed 5-day cour se covers the fundamental aspects of programming\, which include data type s\, various operators\, input/output\, conditions\, control flow\, functio ns\, and algorithms. The learning experience is enhanced by a number of ex amples and problem sets (data\, strings\, file processing and simple graph ics) that will be solved interactively during the lecture with the partici pation of the students. The course format includes 3 hours of daily lectur es (2 hours of lecture and 1 hour of lab). A certificate of completions wi ll be given to the student who successfully complete the course and pass a short exam at the end of the course to evaluate their knowledge. Electron ic copies of the course materials will be provided to the students. The st udents will also be provided with career advice\, and skills development.\ n\nThe course is delivered online and limited space (25 spots) is availabl e. Please register by May 31st. After the registration\, the successful ap plicants will be contacted to complete the IEEE registration process.\n\nF ees:\n- $250 CAD (IEEE or OSPE Members)\n- $350 CAD (Non-members)\n\nPleas e follow IEEE on Social Media:\nhttps://twitter.com/ieeetoronto\nhttps://w ww.ieeetoronto.ca/\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour\n\nSpeaker(s) : Dr. Alireza Sadeghian\, \n\nAgenda: \nDay 1 – June 7\, 2021\, 6:00-9:0 0 pm: Introduction to computer systems\, hardware architecture\, CPU\, mem ory\, compilation\, high level vs. low-level programming language\, data r epresentation\, Python and PyCharm interactive IDE installation\, writing/ editing/saving/retrieving and running a simple program\, basic data types\ , variables\, assignments\, comments\, and expressions.
