Requisites
Pre-requisite: Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: MCOP or MPIT or MCOT or MCTE or MENC or MEPR or MENS or METC or MSST or MCTN
Rationale
Java is not only an internet language, but also a general purpose object-oriented programming language. Its portability, safety, and simplicity features made it the internet language of choice overnight. It is quickly becoming a programming language that every programmer and computer scientist should know. This course will teach not only the Java programming language, but also the Java programming style and the topics on advanced software design using Java and Java's internet programming.
Synopsis
This course covers the techniques of object-oriented programming in Java, and the characteristics of the Java programming language. The language features such as applets, packages, exception handling and multithreading with concurrent programming are discussed. Java graphical user interface and animation tools are important parts of this course. The advanced topics such as network programming and client/server and Remote Method Invocation (RMI) as well as Java Database Connection (JDBC) are introduced with an executable example.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- demonstrate a deep understanding of various object-oriented design techniques;
- develop object-oriented applications in Java;
- design Java applet for internet applications;
- develop current programming applications with multithreading;
- develop Java graphical interfaces and animation tools;
- develop advanced software applications using JDBC and Client/Server technologies;
- understand and use distributed system programming with RMI.

Notes
Important assessment information
-
Attendance requirements:
It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. -
Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
Students must submit all assessment items. To complete each of the assessment items satisfactorily, students must obtain at least 50% of the marks available for each assessment item. -
Penalties for late submission of required work:
Students should refer to the Assessment Procedure (point 4.2.4) -
Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the summative assessment items. -
Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course. -
Examination information:
There is no examination in this course. -
Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
There will be no Deferred or Supplementary examinations in this course. -
精东传媒app Student Policies:
Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene 精东传媒app policies and practices. These policies can be found at .
Assessment notes
-
The due date for an assignment is the date by which a student must dispatch the assignment to the USQ. The onus is on the student to provide proof of the dispatch date, if requested by the Examiner.
-
In accordance with 精东传媒app policy, the Examiner may grant an extension of the due date of an assignment in extenuating circumstances.
-
Students must retain a copy of each item submitted for assessment. If requested, students may be required to provide a copy of assignments submitted for assessment purposes. Such copies should be dispatched to USQ within 24 hours of receipt of a request to do so.
Other requirements
-
Note on Project: Students will develop an application or a mini-project using Java. The project will be assessed on Project Proposal, Progress Report, and Final Project Report (plus coding).
