Currently, we use C++ language and the UNIX operatingsystem; but the choice of language and operating system depend on availability and currency.Emphasis is on understanding the various programming concepts. Some of the programming conceptsinclude syntax, semantics, declarations, variables, input/output, formatting, selection, loops,subprograms, documentation, software engineering, and scope. Students apply those concepts by writingsimple programs in the given language. This course involves two hours of lecture and one hour ofstructured laboratory each week. Prerequisite: None. (F, S

The accuracy of the model is validated using the historicalrecords of drought indices and available seasonal temperature and precipitation data provided bythe NOAA CPC. The results of the forecasts produced by this model will be compared with theobserved drought indices and validated. The mean error rate and root mean square error (RMSE)methods are used to measure the accuracy of the forecast at stations for validation. The validatedmodel can be used in classroom and laboratory settings for general engineering studies.1.
