Course Description

Software development using advanced object paradigm concepts. This course introduces threads, networking, generic programming, and exception handling. The course covers in depth the advanced topics of object paradigm such as inheritance and polymorphism. These concepts are introduced in the context of developing software using software tools including libraries of components.

Course Objectives

To learn the design and implementation of ADTs in form of classes.
To learn problem solving techniques including abstraction, refinement and recursion.
To master the understanding of the object paradigm.
To deveop a deep understanding of inheritance and polymorphism.
To develop a basic understanding of threads, generic programming and exception handling.
To learn data structures including linked list, statck and queue.

Course Outcome

By the end of this class, Students should be able to:

Apply programming and software engineering principles in software development.
Use Java interface and Java class to specify, design and implement ADT.
Design, implement and debug recursive methods in Java.
Understand the advantages of the object paradigm over procedural paradigm.
Apply inheritance and polymorphism mechanisms in developing Java classes.
Use Java exception handling to make Java program fail-safe.
Use classes from Java Collections Framework for generic programming.
Design and implement ADT list, stack and queue using array and linked list.

Course Requirements and Grading

Attendance is mandatory. Come to the class prepared: read the assigned materail beforethe lecture and re-read them after the lecture. You are expected to take an active role in your learning process. This includes regular attendance, paying attention and taking notes in class, reading the textbook, and completing all course requirements including: 2 midterm exams and 1 final exam, projects, lab exercises, in-class exercises and quizzes. The material of all exams will come from either a material covered in class, homework, projects and/or assignment readings. Complete all required work on time. In the event that an exam must be missed, or required work cannot be completed on time, due to illness or other serious and unavoidable circumstance, notify the professor as far in advance as possible by phone or e-mail. Make-up exams will not be given for any reason. All project assignments and lab assignments must be submitted through the Learning Portal.

The evaluation will be based on:

15% Midterm exam 1

15% Midterm exam 2

15% Project Assignment

20% Final Exam

10% Quizzes

20% Lab Projects

5% Class attendance

Academic Honesty

You are encouraged to discuss assigned problems with other people but you must individually design and write your own solutions / code for all assignments. Furthermore, you should explicitly acknowledge any sources of ideas used that are not your own; this includes other people, books, web pages, etc. "Sharing" of solutions to homework problems and lab exercises is strictly prohibited. Submitting modified versions of other people's work as your own is considered cheating. Academic dishonesty will be "rewarded" with a grade of "F".
