Rationale
9. This course is designed to provide an understanding of concepts in object-oriented programming. The course
covers basic concepts of OOP, Java environmental setup, data structures, concept of inheritance and polymorphism,
exception and associated matters with object-oriented Java. Completing this course unit, students should be able to
demonstrate concepts of object-oriented programming using Java.
Main Objective of the Course Unit
10.
Provide knowledge of applying object-oriented programming concepts through hand-on experiences of using Java
programming language.
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of the Course Unit
On completion of this course unit, students should be able to:
1. explain the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming.
11. 2. set up programming environment with Java.
3. demonstrate concepts of object-oriented programming with Java.
4. distinguish inheritance and polymorphism.
5. apply GUI and event-driven programing.
6. distinguish object-oriented programming and functional programming.
