| Amended | June 2023 | ECTS Points | 7.5 |
| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To master fundamental concepts and practical skills in procedural programming. To explore the key concepts of object-oriented programming. To develop the student's skill in the practical design, development, and testing of object-oriented applications. To extend the student's knowledge and proficiency in object-oriented design to include class design by inheritance and to understand a given design presented in a notation. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Produce a software solution to a problem using key constructs and mechanisms in a procedural programming language. |
| 2 | Analyse a set of requirements to create an object-oriented design. |
| 3 | Create a working solution from a design using an object-oriented programming language. |
| 4 | Effectively communicate an object-oriented design using an appropriate notation. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| The module introduces basic procedural programming concepts and mechanisms, including variables, decision control, repetition, arrays, etc. The module will then explore essential object-oriented concepts and techniques in the design of class hierarchies. Key concepts of object-oriented programming include classes, objects, instance variables, methods, and the use of hierarchical mechanisms for object re-use through composition, association, inheritance, interfaces, abstract classes, and polymorphism. An appropriate notation will be introduced to guide and document the design. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| Key concepts are introduced and illustrated in lectures. The laboratory sessions are used to develop and evaluate design ideas before implementation and then to progress through a series of exercises intended to develop understanding of the lecture content and to develop proficiency in the practical application of object-oriented programming skills. |
