Object-Oriented Programming

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) curricular unit is a fundamental component of the computer science and software engineering study cycle, focusing on equipping students with essential skills for modern software development.The OOP Curricular Unit aims to introduce the students to this programming paradigm as an alternative to procedural programming. As It is more difficult to modify structured program and reuse code as compared to object-oriented programs. By studying OOP principles like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, students gain the ability to create robust, scalable, and reusable code, making this curricular unit highly relevant for advanced studies in software engineering, real-time systems, and enterprise application development.Since it was specifically developed to support object oriented programming, and is one of the most used languages in the business environment, we use the Java programming language

• ObjectivosObjectives

  The learning objectives of a course on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) typically focus on enabling students to understand and apply the principles, concepts, and techniques of OOP. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to understand the differences between procedural languages and object-oriented languages, as well as the difference between the underlying philosophies.They should be abale to use core principles of OOP, including encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. They should be able to use the Java programming language to write object-oriented programs.They should be able to apply OOP principles to design and implement small to medium-sized software projects.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Lectures and discussions provide a solid theoretical foundation for students to review theoretical content (e.g., video lectures, readings) at home, freeing up class time for interactive activities like problem-solving, coding exercises, and discussions. This type of learning helps to promotes active learning andr more personalized instructor support during class.Project based learning will be implemented during the practical labs to encourages practical application of knowledge, enhances problem-solving skills, and provides a portfolio of work that students can showcase to potential employers.Gamification is also implemented in OOP class for Increasing the motivation, engagement, and a sense of accomplishment,that makes the learning process more enjoyable and competitive. The aim of implementing all these techniques is to encourage the students to autonomously develop solutions for problems that are posed to them.
