| Module Description: |
Object Programming for Engineers migrates students, familiar with single developer-based, structural programming techniques, to the concepts of object-oriented, team project development.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| # |
Learning Outcome Description |
| LO1 |
Identify the behaviour and attributes necessary for the creation of simple objects |
| LO2 |
Construct classes capable of supporting the necessary object behaviour and attributes |
| LO3 |
Apply the principles of polymorphism to maximise software re-use |
| LO4 |
Apply a standard architectural design pattern to a software project |
| LO5 |
Analyze and develop appropriate class methods, and an appropriate class interface, as part of a team solution for a moderate-sized engineering problem. |

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

| Indicative Content |
|
Data Containers
Investigate suitable data containers for local data storage and processing.
|
|
Object Oriented Concepts
Abstraction, encapsulation, classes, public members, private members, protected members, constructors and destructors.
|
|
Advanced Concepts
Function and operator overloading, friend functions, class interface design, inheritance, polymorphism, inheritance, virtual functions, abstract classes, template functions and classes.
|
|
Object Oriented Analysis
Introduction to design patterns.
|
|
Database Concepts
Introduce the concepts of relational database design. Apply structured query language (SQL) to create, update, and query such databases.
|
|
Structured Architectural Solution
Introduce the concept of design templates for constructing a robust architectural solution for a moderately-sized, object-oriented project and apply one such standard design pattern when developing a component of a solution for a typical engineering problem.
