| Module Overview |
|
|
|
| Prerequisites/Co-requisites |
| Completion of the progress requirements of Level HE1 and Module SE5102 or equivalent |
|
|
| Module Aims |
To build on the knowledge of computer programming gained in module SE5102, providing students with a solid understanding and experience in object-oriented programming in C++.
|
|
|
| Learning Outcomes |
Upon successful completion of the module, students should be able to:
- Implement the process of object-oriented program development from problem definition to final program.
- Design reliable and maintainable C++ applications, define and implement classes to produce reliable and reusable code, implement object-oriented designs using encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, and use international standard libraries.
