Title:
JAVA PROGRAMMING
Credits: 3
Catalog
Description:
Coordinator:
H. Işıl
Bozma, Professor of Electrical Engineering
Goals:
This course is an introductory course to object-oriented programming and
Java for EE undergraduates and graduate students. The objective of the course is to introduce the basics of object-oriented programming and get the students to an
intermediate level of competence
in Java programming. The first three weeks of the course is devoted to
explaining the principles of object-oriented programming. The rest of
the course is then allocated to Java language basics,
design and development of applets and applications, GUI,
event-handling, graphics, threads and multi-threading, IO streams and
networking.
Learning
Objectives:
What
I expect the students to have learned at the end of the course are as
follows:
-
Fair competence in writing, compiling, debugging, and documenting
Java software
-
The basics of object-oriented programming
-
Ability to implement intermediate level Java applets and
applications to meet desired specifications
Textbook: -- No specific, any Java book.

Course Structure:
The class meets for two lectures a week --
one lecture consists of a
two-hour session and the second lecture is a one-hour.
The lectures are conducted in the Dağ Ozay computer
classroom – where each student has a computer
on his/her desk. The students are required to do 5 Java programming homeworks. There is also term project where
the students work in groups of two of their own choosing and are asked
to design and develop Java software for an engineering application.There
is one open-book midterm and one final.
Computer Resources:
Students use JDK and Forte
-- software installed in EE computer laboratories.
If they so desire, they may also use other development software.
Grading:
-
HWs (35%)
-
Term Project (15%)
-
Quizzes (12%)
-
Midterm (12%)
-
Final (26
%)
Outcome Coverage:
-
An
ability to design a system, component or process to meet the desired
needs: Design
Java software with
given specifications. The principles of Object Oriented Programming are
presented. Java API’s (classes and their methods) are presented for
regular mathematical programming as well as GUI’s, event-handling,
developing concurrent programs, IO streams and networking.
-
An
ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems:
Each topic is presented with the motivation of particular
programming issues –
where the respective Java
classes and their associated
methods
would need to be applied. The projects are also given with this in
perspective. This is intended to prepare the students for
future projects involving Java and possibly other OOP
language-based software design and development.
-
A
knowledge of contemporary issues:
The issues that come up in
writing
advanced software tools such as Graphical User Interfaces,
multi-processes and networking are discussed. It is hoped that the
students get a feel of the general trends in software
and related technologies.
-
Use of modern
engineering tools. Students use
Java and JDK such as Forte for the development and implementation
of their programs.
