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 July 11. After the registration\, applicants will be contacted with the virtual meeting information and course material prior to the start of the course.\n\nFees:\n- $250 CAD (IEEE or OSPE Members)\n- $350 CAD (Non-members)\n\nPlease follow IEEE on Social Media:\nhttps://tw itter.com/ieeetoronto\nhttps://www.ieeetoronto.ca/\n\nCo-sponsored by: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Alireza Sadeghian\, \n\nAgenda: \nDa y 1 – July 12\, 2021\, 6:00-9:00 pm EST: Introduction to computer system s\, hardware architecture\, CPU\, memory\, compilation\, high level vs. lo w-level programming language\, data representation\, Python and PyCharm in teractive IDE installation\, writing/editing/saving/retrieving and running a simple program\, basic data types\, variables\, assignments\, comments\ , and expressions. The material learned will be reinforced through example s provided during the lecture.\n\nDay 2 – July 13\, 2021\, 6:00-9:00 pm EST: The following topics will be discussed: conditions\, operators (arith metic\, logic\, and comparison)\, control statements (if and if-else)\, an d loops (for and while). The material learned will be reinforced through e xamples provided during the lecture.\n\nDay 3 – July 14\, 2021\, 6:00-9: 00 pm EST: Students will be introduced to Strings and text files in Python . They will learn how to work with files\, reading/writing text and number s from/to a file\, string manipulation\, indexing\, and string slicing. Th e material learned will be reinforced through examples provided during the lecture.\n\nDay 4 – July 15\, 2021\, 6:00-9:00 pm EST: Functions\, argu ments\, and return values will be discussed. The material learned will be reinforced through examples provided during the lecture.\n\nDay 5 – July 16\, 2021\, 6:00-9:00 pm EST: The topics of lists and dictionaries will b e discussed. Students will learn about the basic operators\, creating\, ac cessing\, slicing\, adding\, removing\, replacing\, and iteration methods for lists and dictionaries.
