with many allied technologies like Advanced Java, Java Server Pages, and Android Application Development.
Thus. Current industrial trends necessitate acquiring Java knowledge for Computer Engineering and
Information Technology graduates. This course develops necessary skills in students to apply object-oriented
programming techniques in Java so that students will be able to develop complete applications using core
Java.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following course outcomes by the learners. For this, the learners are expected to perform
various activities related to three learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective) in classroom/
laboratory/ workshop/ field/ industry.

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Implement Control structure in Java using concept of Class and Object
CO-2 Develop programs using Constructor and String Class
CO-3 Apply concept of inheritance for code reusability.
CO-4 Implement Exception Handling and multithreading

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Establish Relationship between grammar and language in the context of Theory of Computation.
CO-2 Apply finite automata, regular expressions, and regular grammar to recognize and generate regular
languages.
CO-3 Analyze context-free languages and pushdown automata to determine their equivalence with context-
free grammars.

B) Course Title : Computer Organization and Architecture
C) Pre- requisite Course(s) : Fundamentals of IT System, Digital System
D) Rationale :
Computer architectures represent the means of interconnectivity for a computer's hardware components
as well as the mode of data transfer and processing exhibited. Different computer architecture
configurations have been developed to speed up the movement of data, allowing for increased data
processing. The basic architecture has the CPU at the core with a main memory and input/output system
on either side of the CPU. Computer Organization lets you know how exactly each instruction is executed
at the micro level. For the study of embedded systems/ processor design, these concepts are very
important, as they form the basis of design strategy.
This paper enables students to acquire basic knowledge internal architecture of computer and understand
the functioning of arithmetic, logic and memory unit of computer. Students can utilize the concept in
building compilers, developing efficient programs and optimize program behavior.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following course outcomes by the learners. For this, the learners are expected to perform
various activities related to three learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective) in classroom/
laboratory/ workshop/ field/ industry.

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Elaborate the basic architecture of Central processing Unit (CPU)

CO-2 Analyze the operations of Arithmetical and Logical Unit (ALU) by applying various arithmetic operation
principles.
CO-3 Analyze communication paradigm of I/O devices and standard I/O interfaces
CO-4 Analyze the performance of various classes of Memories
CO-5 Calculate the performance of CPU in Pipelined based architecture.

C) Pre- requisite Course(s) :
D) Rationale :
Every creature depends on nature for their survival. It is therefore, not only essential but also moral
responsibility of all of us to keep our environment clean & in a good condition. The global environmental
issues such as clean water and sanitation, affordable & clean energy, sustainable cities & communities, etc.
are best addresses through sustainable development goals. Environmental education is one of the primary
activities to spread the concept of sustainability on a broader scope. In India, environmental education is
considered as mandatory for all segment of education including technical education. Every creature depends
on nature for their survival. It is therefore, not only essential but also moral responsibility of all of us to keep
our environment clean & in a good condition. The concept of sustainable development is closely associated
with environmental education to promote developments. Considering importance of environmental
education and sustainable development, it became necessary to provide basics of these areas to the
engineering graduates. The knowledge gained through this course will help the diploma students to take
engineering decisions aligned to ensure sustainability of environment for next generations through proper
protection of environment.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following course outcomes by the learners. For this, the learners are expected to perform
various activities related to three learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective) in classroom/
laboratory/ workshop/ field/ industry.

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Explain the importance of ecosystem for the protection of environment
CO-2 Use relevant air & water pollution control methods to solve pollution related issues
CO-3 Recognize relevant energy sources required for domestic & industrial application
CO-4 Analyze the issues of climate change and its impact on sustainability

A) Course Code : 2400408(T2400408)

B) Course Title : Employability Skills Development (Common for all Programmes)
C) Pre- requisite Course(s) :
D) Rationale :
Education may only be enough to qualify for a job, but employability skills are the major criteria to be
considered for a job role. Employability skills are building blocks of any career and they equip one to carry out
roles in the company to the best of their ability. Employers usually check these employability skills before
hiring. These sets of job-readiness skills are behaviors that are necessary for every job and are essential
attitudes that enable students to grow in their careers. Employers value employability skills because they
regard these as indications of how their employees will get along with other team members and customers,
and how efficiently they will be able to handle the job performance and career success. Employers like to hire
a technical expert who also displays well-rounded employability skills.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following course outcomes by the learners. For this, the learners are expected to perform
various activities related to three learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective) in classroom/
laboratory/ workshop/ field/ industry.

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Build resume and showcase portfolio for placement activity.

CO-2 Face interviews and participate effectively in Group Discussions.
CO-3 Apply engineering tools in work situations and societal processes.

A) Course Code : 2400110(T2400110)

B) Course Title : Community/ Society Development
(AIML, AE, CSE, ELX (R), CHE, EE, ME, ME (Auto), MIE, FTS, CACDDM, FPP)

C) Pre- requisite Course(s) :

D) Rationale :

Community development is a process in which community members collectively generate solutions to

common problems/concerns for improvement in the quality of life of the people. The course in community
and society development is essential so that students can be prepared for taking up activities for the
welfare and social well-being of the community and society around them. This course has been designed
to develop requisite competencies and skills in students so that they can address social problems, develop
sustainable solutions that are tailored to local needs and resources, engage with local communities and
civil society organizations to promote people’s participation in decision-making and accountability, and
apply them to community development.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following course outcomes by the learners. For this, the learners are expected to perform
various activities related to three learning domains (Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective) in
classroom/laboratory/workshop/field/ industry.

After completion of the course, the students will be able to-

CO-1 Identify the issues and problems faced by local communities/societies that can be addressed
through community development schemes for sustainable development.
CO-2 Prepare an action plan for an identified issue under community development scheme for a selected
area.
