Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The objective of the course: The aim of the course is to acquaint students with programs that can be effectively used in solving operational-technological problems and to introduce them to their main advantages on illustrative examples, which correspond to their current knowledge.

Learning outcomes: Utilize a variety of program options to automate the solution of technical challenges.

Learning outcomes: Relevant assessment of the possibilities of using available programming environments and the ability to estimate the relevance of the results achieved.
