Johannes gave a crash course on “Coding for Engineers – An Intro to Python” for the LSAMP Summer Research Internship Program today. It was the second installation of this event since its inaugural 2018 edition and it covered (i) Why coding?; (ii) What is Python? What’s so special about it?; (iii) A survey of Python modules for science and engineering; (iv) How to learn Python; (v) How to get started hands-on. The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program seeks to diversify the STEM workforce by significantly increasing the numbers of students that successfully complete high-quality degree programs in
