COURSE TITLE: JAVA PROGRAMMING
(COURSE CODE: 3350703)

Diploma Programme in which this course is offered Semester in which offered

Computer Engineering/ Information Technology 5th Semester

1. RATIONALE:
Open source platforms play significant role in the corporate world and are gaining popularity
because these are freeware and ease of access. Java is a simple, portable, distributive, robust,
secure, dynamic, architecture neutral, object oriented programming language. This
technology allows the software designed and developed once for an idealized ‘virtual
machine’ and run on various computing platforms. Companies of all sizes are using Java as
the main programming platform to develop various applications/projects worldwide. The aim
of this course is that student should learn platform independent object oriented programming
and java as base language for advanced technology like three tier architecture applications,
cloud computing and web development. Many commercial applications as well as developing
mission critical applications are using Java Technologies. This necessitates the corporate
sectors to hire highly skilled Java developers. So, after learning this course, student can float
themselves as Java developer in the software industry as well this course works as foundation
course for advance Java programming for the forthcoming semester.

2. LIST OF COMPETENCY:
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop required skills
so that students are able to acquire following competency:
 Develop software applications using object oriented concept in an Java SDK
environment

3. COURSE OUTCOMES:

The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire different learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domain to demonstrate following course outcomes.
i. Explain object oriented programming concepts of java.
ii. Comprehend building blocks of OOPs language, inheritance, package and
interfaces.
iii. Identify exception handling methods.
iv. Develop multithreading object oriented programs.
v. Develop an object oriented program handling data file.
