Course Description This programming course emphasizes the methodology of programming from an object-oriented
perspective and software engineering principles. It allows students to develop the ability to
analyze programming problems and design and document suitable solutions and to implement
reliable and robust software using contemporary program design methods. Topics to be dealt with
are: classes: data abstraction, information hiding, overloading; inheritance; polymorphism;
exceptions handling.
Course Objective Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• explain the basic object oriented concepts;
• successfully code, debug and run programs with appropriate development
environment;
• work on more advanced programs written in Java; and
• have clear differentiation between structural and object oriented programming paradigm
