ITEC 119

ITEC 119: Principles of颅颅 Programming II

Credit hours: (3)

Instructional Method: Two hours lecture; two hours laboratory

Note: Students that have earned credit for ITEC 120 cannot subsequently earn credit for ITEC 119.  Students may not take ITEC 120 and ITEC 119 concurrently.   

R (Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning) Area

A rigorous, systematic approach to object-oriented problem solving and programming.

Detailed Description of Content of Course

Topics include:

  1. Testing and debugging
  2. Object oriented programming techniques: methods, fields; getters, setters, mutators; introduction to subclasses
  3. Algorithmic problem solving including functional decomposition
  4. Introduction to algorithms (linear search; an example of sorting)

Detailed Description of Conduct of Course

Class lecture and discussion sessions present and explain problem solving techniques and standard algorithms, illustrated with examples.  In the laboratory students learn, with faculty guidance, to solve programming problems and to implement their solutions.  Students are also required to solve, code, test and debug problems without direct faculty guidance.

Goals and Objectives of the Course

Students who complete the course will be able to

  1. Design, implement, test, and debug a program in an object-oriented language that uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation, simple I/O, standard conditional and iterative structures, methods and constructors.
  2. 澳门老奇人论坛 the techniques of structured (functional) decomposition to break a program into smaller pieces, and describe the mechanics of passing parameters by value.
  3. Choose the appropriate data types (primitive types, strings, objects, and arrays thereof) for modeling a given problem
  4. Write methods with parameters and return types that are primitive types, strings, objects, or arrays thereof.
  5. Test and debug programs by: Developing test cases and writing a separate driver class to test the methods of a class; desk-checking individual methods; inserting relevant print statements to discover program behavior.
  6. Answer basic questions about professional and ethical considerations of developing software, information privacy, and acceptable use policies for computing in the workplace.

Assessment Measures

Student achievement is measured by written tests and evaluation of homework and programming assignments.
