Course code Computer Programming: Python L T P C

BCSE101E 1 0 4 3
Pre-requisite NIL Syllabus version
v. 1.0
Course Objectives
1. To provide exposure to basic problem-solving techniques using computers.
2. To inculcate the art of logical thinking abilities and propose novel solutions for real world
problems through programming language constructs.

Course Outcome
1. Classify various algorithmic approaches, categorize the appropriate data representation, and
demonstrate various control constructs.
2. Choose appropriate programming paradigms, interpret and handle data using files to propose
solution through reusable modules; idealize the importance of modules and packages.
