Course Objectives:
Computer Engineering students have to develop real life applications for various IT industries. For
developing such type of applications they must know the concepts of algorithm, flowchart and logic
building techniques. The contents of this course are designed for developing the skills. This course deals
with basic concepts of ‘C’ that will help the students to apply the concepts to build programming logic.
The course is basically designed to create a base to develop foundation skills of programming language.

1. Knowledge (i) Understand basic concept of C programming

(ii) Understand basic concept of modular programming

2. Skills (i) Create a base to develop foundation skills of programming language.

(ii) Logic building

3. Attitude (i) Solve broad-based engineering problems applying basic knowledge of C language.

Course Outcomes:

1. Implement ‘C’ programs using arrays

2. Implement ‘C’ programs using Strings.
3. Develop ‘C’ programs using structures and Union.
4. Construct and Use functions in C programs for modular programming approach.
