Learner goals and capabilities

Do you have a GUI challenge you would like to tackle? In this project, students working in teams will use object-oriented approaches to solve Graphical User Interface (GUI) problems. Topics include object-oriented concepts including inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, graphics and GUI design techniques.

Types of projects that students can work on: Projects that require Object-Oriented and Java programming components.

Project Examples

Requirements

In this project, students learn object-oriented programming using Java with emphasis on graphical user interfaces. They can participate in any project that requires a Java programming component.

Project activities might include but are not limited to:

  • Utilizing required software Engineering development platforms (such as Eclipse).
  • Explaining the concepts of inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, and generic programming and use them to design reusable object-oriented programs.
  • Explaining Java Graphical User Interface (GUI) and graphics and use them to design GUI programs.
  • Explaining and practicing Java exception handling and error checking to ensure program robustness and reliability.
