1. Rationale
Computer programming is the core of the computer science and strong fundamentals of programming can
give 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.
