Description
Summary:The purpose of programming course is not only to teach students the syntax of certain language, but also indicate them scientific thoughts and methods. Teachers in C language classroom should instill engineering thought in students subtly. This article contributes approaches to this subject. First, leading students to form good programming style is helpful to their future engineering practice; Then, pay attention to choose meaningful teaching cases with great practicability to train students' project thought and team consciousness; Moreover, focus on structured programming, guiding learners to solve a problem by stepwise refinement; Furthermore, thought of data structures & algorithm analysis as well as software engineering should be instilled, through which we can lead students to write better code with both validity and efficiency, develop their programming mind effectively in a scientific and easy way.
