SWE 510 gives
an introduction to principles and concepts of object-oriented programming. The
course covers problem solving in an object-oriented manner, basics of program
design using object-oriented principles, designing and implementation of simple
GUI applications, and writing simple multithreaded applications. By the end of the course, student will be
able to apply object oriented concepts, such as inheritance, polymorphism, abstract
classes and interfaces, container/collection classes, and packages in program
design. Moreover, students will also be able to describe the program design
using a notation that is based on Unified Modeling Language (UML).
SWE 510 Object-Oriented Programming in Java (3:3:0). Prerequisite: Undergraduate courses or equivalent knowledge in programming in a high-level language. This course introduces students to programming in the Java language. Topics include problem-solving methods and algorithm development, program structures, abstract data types, simple data and file structures, and program development in a modular, object-oriented manner. Introductory use of OO language features, including data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling. Goals include design and development of Java classes and class type hierarchies. An introduction to Java servlets and applets is included. Emphasis on program development is reinforced through several programming projects. Credit cannot be applied to any graduate degree in IT&E or the BS degree in computer science.
