Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Basic skills

  • B2_That students know how to apply their knowledge to their job or vocation in a professional way and have the skills they demonstrate by developing and defending arguments and solving problems within their area of ​​study

Specific skills

  • EFB3_Ability to understand and master the basic concepts of discrete mathematics, logic, algorithms and computational complexity, and their application for solving engineering problems

  • EFB4_Basic knowledge of the use and programming of computers, operating systems, databases and computer programs with application in engineering

Transversal competences

  • T1_That students know a third language, which will be preferably English, with an adequate level of oral and written form, according to the needs of the graduates in each degree

  • T2_That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as one more member, or performing management tasks in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments taking into account the available resources

Presentation of the subject

The Object Oriented Programming subject belongs to the subject of Programming and is the second within this area. The topics discussed in the subject are designed to train students to learn concepts related to object-oriented programming. These concepts will be needed in subsequent subjects within this same subject and also in subsequent subjects within the degree.

To take this subject, it is recommended to have passed the subject of the previous term, Fundamentals of Programming.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others. 

 

Contents

1.- Introduction to Object Oriented Programming

  • Intuitive object definition
  • Abstraction and encapsulation
  • Objects and classes
  • Attributes and methods
  • Instantiation of objects and invocation of methods

2.- Fundamental techniques of Object Oriented Programming: Inheritance and Polymorphism

  • Class extension: inheritance
  • Polymorphism. Overload and rewrite

3.- Advanced concepts: interfaces and abstract classes

  • Abstract classes and methods
  • Interfaces

4.- Error handling

  • Exceptions
  • Throwing, capturing and handling exceptions

5.- Introduction to the programming of the graphical user interface

  • Programming in response to events
  • Windows and controls

Activities and evaluation system

The final grade is the weighted sum of the grades of the activities:

WEIGHT ACTIVITY

EXAM 1 23% 

EXAM 2 45%

PRACTICE 1 5%

PRACTICE 2 10%

PRACTICE 3 12%

PRACTICE 4 5%

With the above weights, laboratory (practical) activities have a weight of 32%, theoretical activities have a weight of 68%.

If the grade of EXAM 2 is lower than 5, the final grade of the subject will be that of this activity. The subject will be suspended, with the possibility of recovery.

In order to pass the subject, it is also necessary that the minimum grade of three of the practicals is 4. If this premise is not given, the subject will be suspended and in this case there is no possibility of recovering it.

Recovery only makes it possible to recover the grade of the theoretical activities, EXAM 1 and 2, and as long as this new grade is not lower than 5, the same weighting as described above will be applied. Otherwise, the subject will not be considered recovered.

Considerations:

1.- In general, Tecnocampus establishes: any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's evaluation regulations. In the event that signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.

2.- In the particular case of this subject, given its fundamental nature, the student is required not only to provide solutions to certain problems, but also to be able to generate them autonomously, without any external help. For this reason, the use of generative artificial intelligences (IAG) to resolve the problems posed in the subject —whether in exercises, practices or tests— is counterproductive, is strictly prohibited and will be considered a case of fraud by plagiarism. In this sense, the use of IAGs to generate programming code is not allowed, not even in the form of fragments, even if this code is later modified or personalized. The critical use of IAGs as a vehicle to resolve doubts about the subject is not considered a misuse of these mechanisms as long as this does not contradict what has been indicated previously and the student does not lose sight of the fact that he may obtain incorrect answers and/or not adjusted to the contents of the subject. Failure to comply will result in a grade of NP in the subject - without the right to retake.

3.- It will also lead to a NP grade in the subject if the student uses unauthorized tools during the exams, such as a mobile phone or smart watch.
