CMP 163 Object Oriented Programming
BCIS, First Year, Second Semester
Course Objectives
This course aims to provide an introduction to Object Oriented Programming concept using Java.
At the end of this course, students should be able to write Java applications utilizing the object-
oriented concepts introduced in this course.
Course Description
The course covers the basic fundamentals of Java programming like classes, objects, inheritance,
exception handling, etc. as well as advanced topics like interfaces, polymorphism,
multithreading, file-handling and java swing. The topic covered will also introduce the Object
Oriented paradigms like Inheritance, Abstraction, Encapsulation and Polymorphism using Java.
Course Outcomes
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
• understand the concept of OOP as well as the purpose and usage principles of
inheritance polymorphism, encapsulation and method overloading;
• identify classes, objects, members of a class and the relationships among them needed
for a specific problem;
• create Java application programs using sound OOP practices (e.g., interfaces and
APIs) and proper program structuring (e.g., by using access control identifies, automatic
documentation through comments, error exception handling).
Prerequisite
This is the first course on Object-Oriented Programming using Java. Students are not expected
to be familiar with either Object Oriented Programming or Java but knowledge of basic
programming concept is required. Students should have successfully completed the
Programming Language (CMP 161).
