competitive edge in this technology driven world. It not only instils coding skills but also enhances problem
solving ability. Python is one of the programming languages which is versatile and feature rich yet simple and easy
to learn, has applications in various domains. Python programming sets the basis for further study of web
development, data science, IoT, machine learning etc.

2. Course Outcomes: At the end of the Course, the student will be able to:
Install the latest version of python distribution and configure it for an appropriate workspace
CO-01
as needed for a given project.
Write a program by selecting python constructs needed to solve a given problem and then code,
CO-02
execute, test and debug the program to obtain the desired result.
CO-03 Demonstrate how a program can be optimized by using modular programming approach.
CO-04 Identify and resolve both syntactical and semantic errors in a given code snippet.

 Database System Concepts and PL/SQL
Subject code – CSE304

1. Rationale
Data, factual information, is the main driving force that is changing the face of our world. Database is an organized
collection of related data which is stored and accessed electronically using a computer. Database management has
evolved from a specialized computer application to a central component of virtually all enterprises, and, as a result,
knowledge about database systems has become an essential part of an education in computer science. SQL is a
powerful language for both querying and updating data in relational databases. Study of SQL empowers students to
implement and work with relational data model.

2. Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
Identify the elements of ER model for a given requirement, draw ER diagram and validate with the
CO-01
given requirement.
Translate the given ER diagram to a relational model and verify against integrity constraints. Also
CO-02
refine and normalize the relational database design against first three normal forms.
CO-03 Use appropriate SQL statements to create a database and other DB objects using a DBMS software.
Perform insert, delete and/or update operations on the database and query the database to
CO-04
retrieve the required information using appropriate SQL statements and clauses.
