1. Course Rationale
As digitization is touching our lives in almost all spheres computer is omnipresent due to this.
Computers are present everywhere from schools to colleges to banks to post offices to professional world. There is a lot of uses of computers in the universities. The biggest example for the same is that Google Classroom is helping teaching this course online and recipients will be accessing it and using it online. Many of our daily tasks are done on the computer too.
Computer Fundamentals (CSE 112) is one prominent core courses that is concerned of the basics of using a computer. This course has been designed for the newly admitted students with little to no computer experience.
1.1. Course Objectives
The main objective of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of computing devices and
reinforce computer vocabulary, particularly with respect to personal use of computer hardware
and software, the Internet, networking and mobile computing. It focuses on such computer
literacy that prepares students for life-long learning of computer concepts and skills. Students discovers why computers are essential components in education, business and society in this course.
1.2. Course Outcomes (COs)
After successfully completing this course, a student will be able to:
CO1
Converse in basic computer terminology
CO2
Formulate opinions about the impact of computers on society
CO3Possess the knowledge of basic hardware peripherals
CO4 K
now and use different number systems and the basics of programming
CO5Solve basic computational problems with C language
1.3. Program Outcomes (POs)
Program Outcomes (POs) are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and attitudes that students acquire while progressing through the program. The program must demonstrate that by the time of graduation, students have attained a certain set of knowledge, skills and behavioural traits to some acceptable minimum level. As per the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE), the 4-year B.Sc. program in CSE specifically requires that students acquire the following graduate attributes.
PO1
Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
PO2
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, research the literature and analyze complex engineering problems and reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, the natural sciences and the engineering sciences.
PO3
Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety as well as cultural, societal and environmental concerns.
PO4
Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems, considering design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
PO5
Modern tool usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6
The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
PO7
Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
PO8 Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and the norms of the engineering practice.
PO9 Individual work and teamwork: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of diverse teams as well as in multidisciplinary settings.
PO10
Communication: Communicate effectively about complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large. Be able to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations and give and receive clear instructions.
PO11
Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work as a member or a leader of a team to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
PO12 Life-long learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent, life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
