Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Students will complete several lab/programming exercises techniques. This course is transferable to a four year institution and is applicable toward an Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science Degree.

On completion of this course students should be able to:
· Employ a deep knowledge of the object-oriented paradigm and a recognized software development methodology to develop computer programs that
demonstrate significant functionality and usability.
· Design and construct object-oriented software with appropriate layers of abstraction and associated use of encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and
interfaces.
· Effectively use the extensive libraries that are available as a standard part of Java and C++.
· Architect systems with minimal complexity and cost to attain maximal functionality, flexibility and maintainability.

Students will complete several software projects comprised of object-oriented designs, implementations, and test plans. Projects will be of sufficient size to require team development.

• Designs will demonstrate the use of good object-oriented design principles.
• The implementations will demonstrate the use of inheritance, interfaces, and collection classes. Implementations will include console based applications.
• Test plans will include test cases demonstrating both black and glass box testing strategies.
• Project submissions will include oral and written presentations of technical information regarding project design and implementation.

Students will demonstrate competency on exam(s) which are constructed to demonstrate:

• An understanding of object-oriented methodology.
• Use of inheritance, virtual functions, and polymorphism.
• Facility with programming language syntax and semantics.
• Individual capability in design, implementation and testing of modular and object oriented program components.
