CURRICULUM FOR B.E. COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

AIM:
To extend student’s Logical and Mathematical maturity and ability to deal with abstraction and to introduce most of the basic terminologies used in computer science courses and application of ideas to solve practical problems.

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the course, students would
  Have knowledge of the concepts needed to test the logic of a program.
Have an understanding in identifying structures on many levels.
Be aware of a class of functions which transform a finite set into another finite set which relates to input output functions in computer science.
  Be aware of the counting principles.
Be exposed to concepts and properties of algebraic structures such as semi groups, monoids and groups.
