Learning Outcomes

Apply principles of java programming in designing program; Define the appropriate solutions for computing problems; Apply professional and ethical principles in programming; Describe the use of various data structures; Apply appropriate operations for maintaining common data structures; Apply appropriate data structures and simple algorithms for solving computing problems; Design computer programs using different data structures and related algorithms; Apply advance technique of object-oriented programming’s concepts in designing and developing application.

Topics

This course serves as a one of the foundation courses in programming principles. It provides students with the basic problem-solving techniques, programming concepts, the ability in developing algorithms and well-structured programs, an understanding of the principles of data structures and algorithms in the design and development of computer software. Students will learn basic data structures and its use in different algorithms that are commonly used in making structured and efficient software programs.  They will also be introduced to the concepts and techniques of basic programming using the Java programming language and basic computing. Part of the course will also cover a short introduction in the analysis of algorithms. The students’ competency is assessed by their capability in creating a middle-sized application program that uses data structures.
