Name of Course Computer Programming

Offering Department COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

B.Tech Branches to which All Branches

this course is offered

OVERVIEW:
The Course on Computer Programming is offered to the first-year students The objective of

this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the world of programming.

Through this course, students will learn the fundamental principles and techniques of

coding using the Python language. The emphasis is on nurturing problem-solving abilities

and cultivating a logical mindset essential for effective programming. Students will gain

hands-on experience in writing and executing Python code, enabling them to develop simple

yet functional programs. The course aims to familiarize students with essential data

structures and control flow, empowering them to tackle real-world programming challenges

with confidence. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to design and

implement basic software solutions. This strong foundation in computer programming will

serve as a steppingstone for their future studies and careers in various disciplines, from

computer science to data science, web development, and beyond.
