2. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides in-depth coverage of object-oriented programming principles and techniques. The course gives
emphasis on the fundamentals of structured design with classes and objects. Topics include classes, objects, overloading,
abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. It alsoexamines strings, arrays, methods, constructor methods,
method overloading, method overriding, accessmodifiers and interfaces. The Java programming language will be used as the
teaching vehicle for this course.

 3. OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
Specifically, the objectives of the course are:
1. To introduce students to the history of computing, programming paradigms, and the fundamentals of the Object-Oriented (OO)
paradigm.
2. To develop students’ understanding of the essential elements and principles of OOP, including classes, objects, encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism.
3. To familiarize students with advanced OOP concepts, including abstraction, interfaces, exception handling, and event-driven
programming.
4. To provide hands-on experience in OO software development methodologies and design patterns, including the Model-View-
Controller (MVC) architecture.
5. To introduce graphical user interface (GUI) development in Java, enabling students to build interactive applications.
6. To introduce concurrent programming concepts and multithreading in Java, including creating and managing threads for
concurrent execution.
