Course Objective:
The course is oriented to students who want to learn programming basics with using C programming
language as an implementation tool. The major objective is to provide students with understanding of
programming essentials, including algorithms, data types, elementary control structures and
functions used within the framework of imperative and structural programming paradigms
Expected Course Outcome:
At the end of the course the student should be able to

CO 1: Understand various computer components, design flowchart and write program in C
programming language, understand, explain and use different data types and operators in C to write
programs.
CO 2: Formulate, evaluate and analyze the problems by applying programming concepts using
decision control statements and loop control statements and Programming using Arrays.
CO 3: Students will be able to design and implement applications in C using Functions and Pointers
CO 4: Students will be able to develop applications using Structures, sequential and random access
file processing.
