Course Description :
This is an advanced programming course emphasizing on the use of object-oriented design and
implementation of systems. This course focuses on teaching object-oriented and basic design
patterns that aims to make code simpler, scalable, maintainable and reusable.
Objectives/Values :
To introduce students to object-oriented design.

At the end of the term, the student should be able to:

Knowledge:
design applications using object-oriented approach
identify appropriate OO-design for a problem
implement the OO-design in Java
promote appropriate, reusable, maintainable designs in software systems
Values:
promote and exercise intellectual honesty
develop camaraderie and work well within a group
manifest diligence in work and in studies to achieve goals
Skill:
have critical thinking in analyzing problems and creating or providing solutions
have a systematic methodology in designing systems
perform well, deliver goals and manage activities in relation to time.
