1 Syllabus Course Number: MSC 501 Course Title: Object-Oriented Programming in Java. Course Description: MSC 501. Object-Oriented Programming in Java (3). Introduces foundation of programming through simple development of programs using the Java programming language. In-depth investigation of programming fundamentals: mathematical expressions, variables, assignment statements, functions and conditionals. Introductory use of Object-Oriented language features including classes, objects, data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling. Prerequisite Courses: N/A Course Overview This course introduces students to programming in the Java programming language. Topics include mathematical expressions, variables, assignment statements, functions and conditionals. In addition, this course covers problem-solving methods, algorithm development, program structures, abstract data types, simple data and file structures, and program development in a modular, object-oriented (OO) manner. Introductory use of OO language features including data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, and exception handling. Ultimately, programming is a skill that requires the ability to put designs into practice. The only way to succeed is to practice this skill. Therefore, this course will require significant amount of time each week to complete the programming assignments. If you are not willing or able to spend the necessary time, please reconsider whether this is the correct time to attend this class.

2 Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, learners should be able to: Learn about recent development in computing and software development. Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of programming fundamentals: mathematical expressions, variables, assignment statements, functions and conditionals through the development of basic programming assignments. Design, implement, test, and debug programs that use each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation; simple input/output; sequential, conditional, and iterative control structures; and classes and methods. Choose appropriate constructs for each programming task. Solve problems using various Java language and library features. Understand and use of Object-Oriented concepts to develop reusable, reliable, and maintainable software.
