Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

PLO1 Academic Education: To prepare graduates as computing professionals.

PLO2 Knowledge for Solving Computing Problems: Apply knowledge of computing fundamentals, knowledge of a computing specialization, and

mathematics, science, and domain knowledge appropriate for the computing specialization to the 16 abstraction and conceptualization of computing models from

defined problems and requirements.

PLO3 Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and solve complex computing problems reaching substantiated conclusions using

fundamental principles of mathematics, computing sciences, and relevant domain disciplines.

PLO4 Design/ Development of Solutions: Design and evaluate solutions for complex computing problems, and design and evaluate systems, components, or

processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

PLO5 Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, adapt and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern computing tools to complex computing activities,

with an understanding of the limitations.

PLO6 Individual and Teamwork: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.

PLO7 Communication: Communicate effectively with the computing community and with society at large about complex computing activities by being able

to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and understand clear instructions.

PLO8 Computing Professionalism and Society: Understand and assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues within local and global contexts, and

the consequential responsibilities relevant to professional computing practice.

Theory

Basic database concepts, Database approach vs file-based system, database architecture, three-level schema architecture, data independence, relational

data model, attributes, schemas, tuples, domains, relation instances, keys of relations, integrity constraints, relational algebra, selection, projection,

Cartesian product, types of joins, normalization, functional dependencies, normal forms, entity-relationship model, entity sets, attributes, relationship,

Course Description

Database Systems is a course in which Database design is the main focus. What are Database, Database Management Systems, and Structured query

language, these are the three major pilgrims of the course. Moreover, the Database environment is the basic part to learn. Database design models are used

to design the database. The normalization technique is the way to remove anomalies from the database. Structural constraints, Keys, Attributes, Indexes, and

Views are used to develop the database. The structured query language is used to manipulate the data the and Oracle server is the tool to develop the

database.
