1. 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 analyses 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.
2. Course Goals or Learning Outcome:
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
- Have clear differentiation between structural and object oriented programming
paradigms

3. Prerequisites:
Fundamentals of Programming II

4. Required Texts:
Text book:

 1) Deitel & Deitel, Java How to Program. 8th ed. Prentice Hall
2) Eckel, Bruce. Thinking in Java. 4th ed. New Jersey: Prentice Hall
5. Summary of Teaching Learning Methods:
The learning–teaching methodology will be student-centered with appropriate guidance of
instructor/s during the students’ activities .There will be Lecture, Demonstrations, Lab
work Tutorials, Reading assignments and Group Discussions.
The course will follow a rigorous schedule of assignments. Each assignment corresponds to
a section of the course content and textbook. Failure to keep up with the assignments will
result in your failing the course. Each session builds on the prior session and is a required
building block for the following section. It is very difficult for you to be successful in the
course if you miss any class sessions.
