The students will be able to

• Understand basic concepts of object-oriented design (OOD) and programming (OOP)
• Use one or more programming environments
• Understand and apply basic C++ programming data types, expressions, and control structures such as sequence, selection and iteration
• Understand and apply simple data structures such as arrays in software development
• Apply problem-solving and C++ language skills to develop working C++ programs
• Use pair programming and collaborative learning skills to develop working C++ programs

To enhance students' skills in program design, program debugging, and promotion of good programming style.

The students will be able to
