Content

Object-oriented programming consists of among other things managing classes and objects. The course also includes construction of graphical user interfaces and different kinds of file management. The course includes the following elements:

• Classes and objects
• Methods
• Inheritance
• Abstract classes Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Separation of GUI and logic
• Exception Handling
• File Handling

Learning outcomes

On completion of course, the students independently, based on a problem description, construct a, according to object oriented principles, event driven software with graphical user interface and file manager functionality in Java programming language. This means the student must:

• be able to develop an overview class diagram for a an object-oriented system.
• be familiar with the syntax in Java programming language required to write software of the above mentioned extent.
• understand the concept of object-oriented programming so that it becomes natural that the software are written using this model.

Generic Skills

The following general skills are trained in the course:

• Ability to adapt to new situations
• Ability to work independently
• Object-oriented programming - in this course Java programming language but the syntax are similar to other programming languages

Learning methods

The course can be given as distance course and campus course . As support is BTH learning management system where course materials is distributed and information regarding the course is published. In the detailed study guide, the student get reading instructions to the course book, referrals to supplementary material as well as recommended exercises to solve. Each 2 week period has a main section, then the student carries out weekly exercise. The course has a 4 mandatory exercises (one exercise per 2 week period) leading up to an object-oriented system in which all course topics are covered. The student submits the solution (via email) to the teacher who provides feedback. Thereafter continues the course with the next module.
Specific for distance course: Interactive exercises conducted via Internet, for example, via a conference system or BTH learning management system. The students that are unable to participate in meeting sessions will be able to download recordings of these meetings and view them afterwards. In addition, there is of course communication via e mail.
Specific for campus course: Carried out according to above with following modification: Lectures in hall. The interactive exercises via Internet are replaced with exercises in computer lab.

Work placement

No work placement is included in the planned learning activities. BTH is aiming for a close contact with the surrounding community when developing courses and programmes.

Time allocation

On average, a student should study 200 hours to reach the learning outcomes. This time includes all the various available learning activities (lectures, self studies, examinations, etc.). This estimation is based on the fact that one academic year counts as 60 ECTS credits, corresponding to an average student workload of 1 600 hours. This may vary individually.
