5. Course Description (Catalog Description):

Covers object-oriented programming concepts: constructors, destructors, objects, classes,
functions and attributes, operator overloading and overriding, inheritance and
polymorphism. Explores abstraction principles (interfaces, information hiding,
encapsulation), templates, exception handling, I/O streams and advanced pointers. Uses the
C++ programming language in laboratory work.

6. Textbook, and other Supplemental Material:

Textbook:
• W. Savitch, Problem solving using C++, 10th edition. Addison-Wesley, 2017.
Other supplemental materials:
• None.

7. Course Learning outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Develop C++ programs using pointers, table of pointers, strings, dynamic memory,
enums and structures.
2. Develop object-oriented C++ programs using classes, collection classes, operator
overloading and templates.
3. Develop object-oriented C++ programs using inheritance and polymorphism
4. Develop C++ programs using I/O streams and exception handling
5. Use a programming development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio, to
write, compile, run and debug small to medium complexity C++ programs.

8. Teaching and Learning Methodologies:

Methods include two 75 minutes lectures per week, one 2 hours lab assignment per week
and approximately 5 homework assignments.
