PART B: OBJECTIVES AND PRACTICE

10.​ Course Summary


This course includes overview of Computer Structure, Algorithmic approach to problem
solving and Basic programming abilities. Topics would include Basics of computer
programming, Introduction to C programming, data types, operators, control statements,
functions, arrays, pointers, strings, formatted I/O, structures, unions, bit manipulation, file
processing, brief introduction to data structures.

11.​ Course Aims

To introduce students to the field of computer science and the fundamentals of computer
programming. Introduction to Computing and Programming is specifically designed for
students with no prior programming experience, and taking this course does not require a
background in Computer Science. This course will touch upon a variety of fundamental
topics within the field of Computer Science and will use C Programming Language to
demonstrate those principles.
12.​ Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the course, students will be able to achieve the


following:
1.​ Understand the functioning of computer components.
2.​ Understand the process of problem solving using computer.
3.​ Understand the basic terminology used in computer programming.
4.​ Design an algorithmic solution for a given problem.
5.​ Write, compile and debug programs in C language.
6.​ Use different data types in a computer program.
7.​ Design programs involving decision structures, loops and functions.
8.​ Explain the difference between call by value and call by reference
9.​ Understand the dynamics of memory by the use of pointers.
10.​Use different data structures and create/update basic data files.
11.​Write C program for simple applications of real life using structures and files.
