Learners will be able to design structured data models, implement menu-driven program flow, perform file-based CRUD operations, and apply core C programming concepts to a real-world application. This course guides learners through building a complete Employee Management System in C, moving step-by-step from project setup to fully functional employee operations.

By completing this course, learners gain hands-on experience in translating theoretical C concepts into practical solutions. They will strengthen their understanding of structures, control statements, loops, functions, and file handling while developing a console-based system that mirrors real industry use cases. The course emphasizes clean logic, data integrity, and structured program design—skills that are essential for academic projects, technical interviews, and entry-level programming roles. What makes this course unique is its project-centric approach: learners do not just write isolated programs, but build and evolve a single application across modules. Each feature is implemented incrementally, reinforcing learning through repetition and application. By the end of the course, learners will have a complete, working C project they can confidently showcase as part of their programming portfolio.

This module introduces learners to the Employee Management System project in C programming, focusing on project understanding, development environment setup, structured data design, and building an interactive, menu-driven console interface that forms the foundation for all system operations.
