This introductory course covers the fundamentals of programming in Python. The course is designed for both beginners and students who wish to review and reinforce their Python skills.

The fundamentals taught in this course are prerequisites for various courses in the Master’s program in Geo-Environmental Engineering as well as other programs in the field of energy and raw materials sciences, and are applied in practical settings. The introductory course therefore provides excellent preparation for your studies.
