PRE-REQUISITE: Mathematics, Basic Computer Terminology
COURSE
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE (CEO): The course aims to give
students hands–on experience and train them on the concepts of the C-Programming language.
COURSE OUTCOMES (COs): At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
CO1: Read, understand, and trace the execution of
programs written in C language (Understand-L2) CO2: Apply the right control structure for
solving the problem (Apply-L3) CO3: Develop, Debug and Execute programs to
demonstrate the applications of arrays, functions, pointers and files in C (Apply-L3) CO4: Improve individual / teamwork skills,
communication and report writing skills with ethical values.
