COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This programming course is a foundation skill of all computing discipline. The course will focus on the use of
general purpose programming language to solve problems. The emphasis is to train students to design, implement, test,
and debug programs intended to solve computing problems using fundamental programming constructs. This knowledge
area develops skills and concepts that are essential to good programming practice and problem-solving skill that includes
critical thinking for aspiring programmers

COURSEOBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this course the student should:

1. Identify and apply the steps in software development life cycle model in developing Java programs.

2. Analyze and explain the behavior of simple programs involving the fundamental programming constructs in
JAVA.
3. Design, implement, test and debug a program in JAVA that uses programming construct: basic computation,
simple I/O, File manipulation, standard conditional and iterative structures and the definition of classes,
methods and objects.

4. Modify and expand short programs that use standard conditional and iterative control structures.
5. Describe the mechanics of parameter passing and the issues associated with methods and classes.
6. Develop critical thinking skills in solving problems using JAVA with an appropriate conditional and iteration
programming constructs.
7. Develop a Java program applying the different Java language element
