CS 2510 - Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces object-oriented programming to students who have experience in structured programming techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on the design and implementation of computer programs to solve problems encountered in engineering practice. Topics include introduction to object concepts, describing, declaring and developing user-defined classes and objects, constructors and destructors, abstraction, function overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and operator overloading. A high-level computer language will be used to illustrate and implement the topics. The lab sessions of the course will be used to design software for engineering applications. (prereq: EE 1910  or EE 3910B , MA 137  or MA 225  or MA 1410H )
