Name of Faculty : Faculty of Engineering & Technology

Name of Program : Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech)
Course Code : 2BCO01
Course Title : Computer Programming
Type of Course : Basic Engineering (BE)
Year of Introduction : 2023-24

Prerequisite : Maths, logic and most importantly zeal to learn

Course Objective : To understand the fundamentals of computer programming.
Course Outcomes : At the end of this course, students will be able to:
CO1 Demonstrate problem solving skills by developing algorithms
and drawing flowcharts to solve simple problems, Understand
the process of compiling and executing a C program and
recognize various C tokens and datatypes.
CO2 Understanding various programming constructs and applying it
for the problems given in hand.
CO3 Demonstrate the use of various data structures like array, file and
structure.
CO4 Applying the concepts of top-down modular programing to
decompose problem and a program solution into smaller pieces
and Analyse how length of the source program can be reduced
by using functions.
CO5 Evaluate how pointers are effective in handling arrays, functions
and data tables and how pointers support Dynamic memory
management.
CO6 Develop C Programs using various methods described above to
solve real-world problems.
