 V. COURSE DESCRIPTION

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java introduces students to the principles, concepts, and
techniques of object-oriented software development. The course emphasizes problem-solving through the
design and implementation of programs using Java, one of the most widely used programming languages in the
industry. Students will learn how to apply object-oriented concepts such as classes, objects, inheritance,
polymorphism, and abstraction to develop efficient, reusable, and maintainable software solutions. The course
also integrates hands-on practice in coding, debugging, and testing Java programs to prepare students for
advanced programming and software engineering courses.

VI. COURSE EXPECTED OUTCOMES

After finishing this course, the student can be able to:

1. Understand Java Fundamentals: Demonstrate knowledge of Java syntax, data types, operators, control
structures, and input/output operations.
2. Apply Object-Oriented Concepts: Utilize classes, objects, constructors, methods, and packages to
structure programs effectively.
3. Implement Inheritance and Polymorphism: Apply inheritance, method overriding, and polymorphism
to promote code reusability and flexibility.
4. Use Abstraction and Encapsulation: Design programs using interfaces, abstract classes, and
encapsulation to create secure and modular applications.
5. Work with Collections and Generics: Apply Java’s collection framework, generics, and exception
handling for robust data management and error control.
6. Develop GUI and Event-Driven Applications: Create simple graphical user interfaces (GUI) and handle
events using Java libraries.
7. Master File Handling and Streams: Implement file I/O operations and understand Java streams for data
storage and retrieval.
8. Apply OOP in Problem-Solving: Analyze and solve real-world computing problems by applying OOP
concepts and Java programming techniques.
