CIT 244 - Object-Oriented Design and Data Structures Using Java


Credits: 4
4 Lecture Hours

Prerequisites: CIT 130  

 
Description
This course builds on the concepts of software design and development introduced in CIT 130 .  The focus of the course is on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) design, advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI), algorithm analysis and efficiencies, recursion, data structures and predefined Application Programming Interfaces (API).  Additional course topics include file input/output processes and multi-threading.


Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Construct programs that use inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation.
  2. Utilize advanced GUI techniques to enter and display data.
  3. Identify various algorithm efficiencies involved with sorting, searching and recursion.
  4. Construct programs that use multi-dimensional arrays of primitives and objects.
  5. Employ predefined APIs and Java collection classes.
  6. Implement various data structures such as array lists, linked lists, queues and stacks.
  7. Create programs that use file input/output streams and access methods.
  8. Implement multi-threading techniques.
Listed Topics
  1. Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  2. OOP design review
  3. Inheritance, polymorphism, class hierarchies and abstract classes
  4. Advanced Java GUI applications
  5. Software engineering principles/error and exception handling
  6. Algorithm efficiencies
