    Course Image

    A revolutionary creation of man- “Computer” made every aspect of human life modernized. Once the things done manually are now automated because of the massive growth of computer and its application. Computer is increasingly becoming compulsory in nearly all fields of studies because of its accuracy and efficiency in processing data

    A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory. These instructions tell the machine what to do. The computer is capable of accepting data (input), processing data arithmetically and logically, producing output from the processing, and storing the results for future use.
     
    Study of computer fundamentals will enlighten the young learner’s passion for technology and take it to an advanced level. Application of computers can then be more fun.

    • Course Rationale

      As digitization is touching our lives in almost all spheres computer inevitable. Computers are present everywhere from schools to colleges to banks to post offices to professional world to personal life. Education is fully dependent  on the rigorous use of computers. Computer Fundamentals (CSE 112) is one of the basic courses of CSE that helps the students to go deep into this magical machine. This course has been designed for the newly admitted students with great enthusiasm to learn and apply their knowledge in the long run.

    • 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.

    • Course Outcomes

      After successfully completing this course, a student will be able to:

      • Possess the knowledge of basic hardware peripherals
      • Know and use different number systems and the basics of programming
