Ordinary Technician Diploma in Computer Science

Course: Computer Programming with C – First Year

Rationale:

This Course is designed to give students the foundation required to assist

students in demonstrating critical thinking and problem-solving. It is also
geared in helping students to develop their analytical skills and apply them to
function readily in the information technology environment. It contains areas
such as algorithm development and the development of simple software
applications that will spark the interest of creating artificial intelligent systems
as solutions. The course is designed to provide complete knowledge of C
language. Students will be able to develop logics which will help them to create
programs, applications in C. Also by learning the basic programming constructs
they can easily switch over to any other language in future.

Course Duration: Full Time, One Academic Year, Three terms, 3 hours
per week.

Part Time, One Academic Year, Three terms, 2 hours

per week.

Learning Objectives/ Outcome:

1. Understanding a functional hierarchical code organization.

2. Ability to define and manage data structures based on problem subject
domain.
3. Ability to work with textual information, characters and strings.
4. Ability to work with arrays of complex objects.
5. Understanding a concept of object thinking within the framework of
functional model.
6. Understanding a defensive programming concept. Ability to handle
possible errors during program execution.
