The document outlines a computer science curriculum that meets industry needs and student expectations. It discusses using an outcome-based approach with defined course and program learning objectives. The program learning objectives for computer science include imparting an understanding of basics, developing proficiency in computing practices, and preparing for continued professional development. A case study demonstrates how to design a course on computer programming by discovering real-world applications of the topic, breaking problems down into learnable parts, and developing course content based on the application, programming language, and concepts needed to solve the problems. The goal is to develop a curriculum with industrial applications that cover topics from the computer science discipline.
Computer science curriculum based on Program learning outcomes and objectives
- 1. COMPUTER SCIENCE CURRICULUM THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF INDUSTRY AND MANAGES THE EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS
- 2. Contents Ahead ■ What is Computer Sciences? ■ Outcome based Approach in Studies ■ Course learning Objectives (CLO) ■ Programming Learning Objective (PLO) ■ PLOs of Computer Sciences ■ Computer Sciences Curriculum ■ Case study – Designing course and developing its curriculum ■ Computer Sciences expert by curriculum ■ Question answers session
- 3. From where does Computer Sciences come?? ■ A field where we become the specialist of design, programming and implementation of systems using computers and their derivatives ■ It solves everyday life problems using electronics in a scientific approach Design Programming Systems Digital equipment
- 4. The Concept of Outcome Based Approach(OBA) in Computer Studies ■ Computer sciences is a professional course-line ■ Industry needs Technology and professionals understanding technology ■ Students need motivation and opportunity in their chosen fields
- 5. Course Learning Objectives(CLO) versus Program Learning Objectives(PLO)■ The approach divides the whole study program to distinct Lego blocks ■ Each block is essential for achieving the best product at the end – Each subject has its learning objectives known as Course LOs – Different CLOs combine to give us the big picture of PLO
- 6. Program Learning Objectives (PLO) of Computer Sciences ■ Impart an understanding of the basics of the discipline ■ Develop proficiency in the practice of computing ■ Prepare for continued professional development 1 2 3
- 7. Impart an understanding of the basics of the discipline ■ Apply fundamental principles and methods of Computer Science to a wide range of applications ■ Design, correctly implement and document solutions to significant computational problems
- 8. Develop proficiency in the practice of computing ■ Formulate solutions to computing problems ■ Analyze and compare alternative solutions to computing problems ■ Design and implement software systems that meet specified design and performance requirements ■ Apply advanced algorithmic and mathematical concepts to the design and analysis of software ■ Apply sound principles to the synthesis and analysis of computer systems
- 9. Prepare for continued professional development ■ Work effectively in teams to design and implement solutions to computational problems ■ Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing ■ Think critically and creatively, both independently and with others ■ Recognize the social and ethical responsibilities of a professional working in the discipline ■ Adapt to new developments in the field of computer science
- 10. Now,, what do we have on Computer Sciences Curriculum? ■ Computer Programming ■ Application and Web Development ■ Big Data Analytics ■ Database and Management Systems ■ Industrial Automation and Control ■ Computer Aided Designing and Graphics ■ Networks Many more… Programming Optimization CAD Database handling Industrial Automation Big data
- 11. Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study – Understanding the basic concepts in the course – Learning standard course contents – Understanding the process of application of contents of the course – Practice course contents in some daily life problems Previous Approach – Discover field applications of the course – Discretize the field problems to attainable and learnable chunks – Develop course contents from – The basic – Tools that helps in solving above cases – Practice course contents in the light of its application Outcome based approach
- 12. Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study ■ Write programs in a variety of computer languages, such as C++ and Java ■ Update and expand existing programs ■ Test programs for errors and fix the faulty lines of computer code responsible ■ Create and test code in an integrated development environment (IDE) ■ Use code libraries, which are collections of independent lines of code, to simplify the writing Discover field applications of the course Computer systems design and related services 38% Software publishers 7% Finance and insurance 7% Manufacturing 5% Administrative and support services 5% Potential Area usability
- 13. Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study ■ What language does it use? ■ What Programming technique it follows? ■ Potential users and life cycle ■ Potential areas of expansion ■ System requirements Discretize the field problem Update and expand existing program
- 14. Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study ■ If it uses C# (for instance) – C# Language basics – Learning Classes that incorporates the field problem – Do some projects that are related to the field as well as covers the contents of the course Develop course contents What language does it use?
- 15. Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study ■ What is a C# class? ■ How a variable is declared? ■ What is looping and conditioning? and much more to learn… During Class & Lab C# Language basics
- 16. Impart an understanding of the basics of the discipline Develop proficiency in the practice of computing Prepare for continued professional development Application of Computer Programming in Field – A case Study So we actually develop course contents for industrial applications that are ensembles of the curriculum in computer sciences studies
- 17. For raising the life style of a common man and increasing productivity of industry ■ One must know computers ■ One must know programming ■ One must be a Computer Sciences Expert by Curriculum
