Module Overview

The module will provide students with the fundamentals of programming in the C++ language. Teaching will be 2 hours per week with an associated 2 hours of lab based material (starting in week 2) which will closely follow that taught in lectures. The purpose of the laboratories is to gain first hand experience of the concepts discussed in lectures. Assessment will be via a closed book exam at the end of the course (70%) and a programming assignment to be completed during autumn semester over a period of 5 weeks (30%).
Prerequisites/Co-requisites

A good working knowledge of procedural programming preferably in the C programming language. Good pass in ee1.pro.
Module Aims

This module is aimed at students that have completed a first course in structured programming and intends to familiarise them with advanced software design and implementation.
Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the course, students will be familiar with the concepts of object-orientated-design and they will be able to apply this in the C++ programming language.
