A) Course Title: Python Programming

B) Course Code:

C) Pre- requisite Course (s):

D) Rationale:
Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language. Python programming is useful across wide
range of application segments from scientific to machine Learning to mobile app development, and so on.
The software library Pandas, written for the Python programming language is useful for data manipulation
and analysis, thus making it suitable for solving problems related to various engineering discipline. This
course enables learners to apply Python programming features which can be used as building blocks to
develop different kind of applications using Python 3. This course also provides the students the
foundations for data analytics with Python.

E) Course Outcomes (COs): After the completion of the course, teachers are expected to ensure the
accomplishment of following industry expected course outcomes by the learners.
