LEARNING OUTCOMES
1) DEMONSTRATE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRINCIPAL TECHNIQUES OF OBJECT ORIENTED METHODS USING A GENERAL PURPOSE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. (Analysis, Application, Knowledge and Understanding, Learning, Problem Solving).
2) DESIGN, IMPLEMENT AND TEST OBJECT ORIENTED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS. (Application, Problem Solving).
3) CRITICALLY EVALUATE CURRENT COMMON AREAS OF APPLICATION AND THE REASONS FOR THEIR SUITABILITY. (Analysis, Learning, Problem Solving).
4) COMPARE AND CONTRAST OBJECT ORIENTED METHODS WITH CONVENTIONAL METHODS, AND CRITICALLY DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF INTEGRATING THEM. (Enquiry, Problem Solving).
5) ANALYSE AND DESIGN IN AN OBJECT ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT USING THE UML (UNIFIED MODELLING LANGUAGE). (Communication, Enquiry, Knowledge and Understanding).
