1. Objectives of the Course

The course provides a wide scope of learning & understanding of the subject. The main objectives of the course
are :
 To impart knowledge about the different problem solving aspects including general problem solving
strategies and working backwards from solution.
 To expose students to the concepts like variables, identifiers, data types, basic input/output, operators
etc. for C-Language
 To provide skills to use different control statement (sequential, conditional and iterative), the concepts
of pointers and functions for logic building.
 To enable learners to assess the lifecycles of different identifiers by providing the knowledge about
different storage structures and array implimentations.
 To create efficient programming solutions in common engineering design situations.
