Object Oriented Programming through C++ (OOP C++)
Object Oriented Programming through Java (OOP Java)
Data Structures (DS)
Engineering Mathematics (M-I, M-II)
Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS)
Finite Language and Automata Theory (FLAT)

Course Objectives: To learn the key concepts and to get a basic understanding of the most popular programming paradigms and languages, including their strengths and weaknesses and to learn writing small programs in different programming languages.

Course Outcomes: Following are the key outcomes for this course:

Ability to describe the syntax and semantics of programming languages and gain practical knowledge in lexical analysis and parsing phases of a compiler
Ability to assess the merits and demerits of different constructs in programming languages
Ability to design and implement sub programs in various programming languages
Knowledge regarding different programming language features like object-orientation, concurrency, exception handling and event handling
Knowledge regarding functional paradigm and ability to write small programs using Scheme and ML
Knowledge regarding logic paradigm and ability to write small programs using Prolog
