B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description
This course introduces students to the object-oriented programming, the most widely used
programming paradigm, focusing on using classes and objects to design and build robust
console applications. Students will learn to design larger programs by structuring them into
multiple classes, with a variety of relationships between those classes, like association,
aggregation, composition, generalization, and realization. Students will use UML notations to
model classes and their relationships. The core concepts of object-oriented programming,
including inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism will be studied in detail
with regular practical hands-on software development activities.

2. Course Main Objective

By completing this course, the students should be able to:

1. Students will be familiar with the key principles of object-oriented programming

2. Students will understand object-oriented concepts including - classes, objects, inheritance,

3
 data abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism
3. Students will learn how to design applications using object-oriented concepts
4. Students will appreciate the benefits of code reuse by learning how to make use of off-the-
shelf Java libraries
