Contribution of the course to the program objectives
Regarding the learning outcomes of the program of Bachelor in Engineering, this course contributes to the development and the acquisition of the following learning outcomes:
- LO 1.1, 1.2
- LO 2.4, 2.5
- LO 3.1
- AA 4.2, 4.3, 4.4
Specific learning outcomes of the course
More precisely, at the end of the course the students will be able to
- Demonstrate their understanding of the basic concepts and the methodology of object-oriented programming.
- Use the main elements of an object-oriented language such as Java in an appropriate way.
- Analyze a simple problem, to propose an algorithmic solution for this problem and to program the solution in Java.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
An intermediate evaluation takes place at mid-term. The mark obtained for this evaluation accounts for 1/3 of the final mark, only if it is superior to the mark obtained during the exam. The end-term exam aims to assess both the understanding of the course material and the capacity to apply it to correctly write simple Java programs.
The chosen teaching method relies on active student participation in their own learning process. The specific modalities of the active learning approach used in the course are left to the initiative of the course teachers, within the framework of the pedagogical choices made by EPL.
