Course Aims This subject is designed for students having little or no programming experience. It aims to facilitate students with
an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems.
Course Objectives The major objectives of this course are to help students to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small
programs that allow them to accomplish their targeted goals.

I. Select the basic concept of Procedural Programming in order to solve problems and show their outputs.
II. Track the syntax or logical errors occurs during program execution and to develop the capability to solve
them efficiently
III. Construct a small project using the concepts like arrays, functions, and pointers learned in the class.

Course Outcomes After completing this course the student must demonstrate the knowledge and ability to:
