Abstract
Every field of engineering and technology consists of problems to be solved using computers. Learning problem solving skills using computer programming in the first year is important. At first year, students learn various courses of engineering streams, they should inculcate the development of solutions to problems which yields better logic development for further years of graduation. So the aim of Computer Programming (CP) course as part of curriculum in first year is to develop solutions to the problems using Python and MATLAB programming. Students get admitted to first year by Directorate of Technical Education (state government body for allocating engineering seats for merit students) with various backgrounds like heterogeneous culture, unable to cope with learning abilities, immaturity, language and communication gap, different education boards etc. Need a different kind teaching learning methods where every student must understand and solve the problems. Earlier we used to teach students of Savitribai Phule Pune University the course, Fundamentals of Programming Languages - I and II, when many challenges came to surface as discussed, which impacted on their result. Earlier the result was around 50 to 60 %, now use of ICT and conducting different activities it is reaching around 80%.
