B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description
This course covers fundamental of python programming and problem solving using python
language. Students will learn how to select an appropriate python data type and apply the most
appropriate technical processes for a given problem. They will also learn how to develop
python modular code along with the basic principles and required practices of developing an
application software with Python language. Python language has an extensive application
library and its effectiveness and popularity as a modern programming language.
2. Course Main Objective
The objective of this course is to build the understanding of the underlying principles and
equip future academics with basic skills to create computer programs for small-scale use. The
programming language Python serves a broad application domain ranging from short scripts
to full-blown software systems (e.g. Google uses Python). The course gives an introduction to
libraries of available components, and how to use these for building software’s. On successful
completion of this course students should be able to:
● Apply available libraries to solve problems;
● Identify and apply the appropriate technical processes and problem-solving skills to
successfully process a variety of data sets.
● Design and implement GUI application along with database connectivity.
● Identify the recent libraries in python and understanding the usage of it in various
trending application domains.
