Software Fundamentals
Students will explore software development environments, data processing, and the software development life cycle while connecting each concept to real-world engineering workflows. |
|
Java Basics
Students will deepen their understanding of Java by writing programs that use variables, data types, expressions, and input/output to solve practical problems. |
|
Using Objects and Methods
Students learn the fundamentals of writing and running Java programs, including how to use variables, data types, expressions, and input/output. They are also introduced to classes, and learn how to create objects and call methods, including those from built-in classes such as Math and String. |
|
Selection and Iteration
Students learn how to control the flow of a program using conditional statements and loops. They develop Boolean expressions, use relational and logical operators, and write selection statements with if, if-else, and if-else-if. Students also explore iteration through while and for loops, including nested and compound iterations. |
|
Class Creation
Students learn how to design and implement classes using principles of object-oriented programming. They explore encapsulation, access control, and the structure of classes with instance variables, constructors, and methods. Students write accessor and mutator methods, define behaviors using parameters and return values, and understand how object references are passed and returned. |
|
Data Collections
Students learn how to work with collections of data using arrays, ArrayList objects, and 2D arrays. They develop and analyze algorithms that involve searching, sorting, traversing, and manipulating elements in these structures. Students also explore reading data from text files and using wrapper classes to convert between primitive types and objects. |
|
Inheritance and Polymorphism
Students learn how to recognize common attributes and behaviors that can be used in a superclass and create hierarchies by writing subclasses to extend a superclass. |
|
Applied Object Oriented Programming
Students will apply object-oriented programming concepts to build and refine larger Java projects that integrate multiple classes, features, and data structures in realistic scenarios. |
|
React Native Foundations
Students are introduced to the mobile apps course and the React Native framework and its program structure and syntax. Students also preview some of the tools and technologies they will use to build and run their apps. |
|
Building Mobile Apps
Students learn how to use state values and how to update the state of their app in various ways to create quick, dynamic programs. They will learn how mathematical equations and string methods can be used to alter values as the user interacts with their programs. |
|
End of Course App Build
Students use everything they have learned in this course to design, prototype, and code their own custom app and present it to their class In this project-facing module. |
