aims that student should learn creating simple applications as well as Applications that are
database driven using . NET technology

2. COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop different
types of skills so that students are able to acquire following competency:

 To design user interface, code, test and debug vb.net applications

3. COURSE OUTCOMES
The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire different learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain
to demonstrate following course outcomes.

i.Explain the architecture of Dot Net Technology.

ii.Develop single form based .simple Net applications using basic and advanced control
iii.Develop multiple form and menu based .Net applications

7. SUGGESTED LIST OF EXERCISES/PRACTICALS

The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to develop
different types of skills (outcomes in psychomotor and affective domain) so that students are
able to acquire the competencies/programme outcomes. Following is the list of practical
exercises for guidance.

Note: Here only outcomes in psychomotor domain are listed as practical/exercises. However, if
these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also lead to development of
certain outcomes in affective domain which would in turn lead to development of Course
Outcomes related to affective domain. Thus over all development of Programme Outcomes (as
given in a common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this programme) would be
assured.
