Jointly coordinated by the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPLeiria) and the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), the Short Advanced Programme (SAP) ‘Engineering Applications in Python’ – 3^rd edition aims to introduce programming to undergraduate and postgraduate students with some knowledge of a programming language and is oriented to engineering applications.

Python programming language (https://www.python.org/), which is an object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics, will be used. It is open-source and available for all major platforms and is being used by a large and supportive community of users.

Since Python supports modules and packages, programme modularity and code reuse are encouraged. Contributors have made many Python modules and packages available, expanding Python capabilities and applications.

Python is very popular also due to its versatility (it can be used for many different tasks in a great variety of applications) and it is easy to learn syntax (it has a simple syntax similar to the natural language).

Students should have some prior knowledge of working with a computer, editing files, and downloading and installing software.
