1. Objectives of the Course

The course provides a wide scope of learning & understanding of the subject. It has been designed to provide students
the practical ability in Java language, which can be used for system programming and as an application language. The
main objectives of the course are:
 To apply the concepts of object-oriented paradigm to analyse real life problems
 To develop efficient solutions for logical problems using JAVA language.
 Exercise and reinforce prior programming knowledge to effectively code standard problem.
 To identify and remove bugs in a JAVA program.

2. Course Learning Outcomes

On completion of the course, students will be able to:
CLO1. Implement the concept of object-oriented techniques and methodologies using Java.
CLO2. Use Exception Handling concepts for a Robust Application in Java.
CLO3. Demonstrate an understanding of Java Input and Output.
CLO4. Develop applications using multithreading concept of Java.
CLO5. Use database connectivity for a complete Java application.
