Objectives

This subject equips students with the practical skills of computer programming. It provides students with an understanding of the structure
of a high-level programming language, such as C++, and of the design and development process of computer programs. It also enables
students to apply knowledge of computer programming in solving practical problems.

Subject Intended Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this subject, students will be able to:

develop computer programs in one or more high level language programming environment;
design and develop structured and documented computer programs;
explain the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and apply it in computer program development;
integrate the computer programming techniques to solve practical problems.
