BTP300 - Object-Oriented Software Development I - C++

Subject Title
Object-Oriented Software Development I - C++

Subject Description
This course deepens the student's ability to apply object-oriented problem solving skills using the C++ language. The study of C and C++ syntax is completed, and more advanced programming techniques such as pointer manipulation, dynamic memory allocation, templates and data structures are discussed.

Credit Status
1 credit in the BSD program.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:

• use Windows utilities and programs to edit, compile and run C++ programs
• use Unix utilities to edit, compile and run C++ programs
• compose technical program documentation for C++ programs using internal comments
• analyze functional descriptions of objects or modules, which require the use of such technologies as direct file access, bit manipulation and direct console input/output, and design and create the C++ code which implements those specifications
• design and code data structures which effectively use the memory available at run-time
• apply a combination of on-line documentation review, research and experimentation to discover how previously unstudied library functions and objects work
• decide when it is appropriate to work in C, as opposed to C++, and create program solutions using C
• abstract common elements from similar classes to create class templates or inheritance hierarchies of classes, as appropriate
• analyze problems, of medium to high complexity, which lend themselves to a programming solution, and design and code C++ programs which solve those problems, reusing previously written objects and modules when appropriate, and designing new objects and modules when appropriate
• create multi-platform programs which require customized code for different platforms
• methodically test and debug complex C++ programs

Essential Employability Skills
    •  Execute mathematical operations accurately.

    •  Apply a systematic approach to solve problems.

    •  Manage the use of time and other resources to complete projects.

Academic Integrity
Seneca upholds a learning community that values academic integrity, honesty, fairness, trust, respect, responsibility and courage. These values enhance Seneca's commitment to deliver high-quality education and teaching excellence, while supporting a positive learning environment. Ensure that you are aware of Seneca's Academic Integrity Policy which can be found at: http://www.senecapolytechnic.ca/about/policies/academic-integrity-policy.html Review section 2 of the policy for details regarding approaches to supporting integrity. Section 2.3 and Appendix B of the policy describe various sanctions that can be applied, if there is suspected academic misconduct (e.g., contract cheating, cheating, falsification, impersonation or plagiarism).

Please visit the Academic Integrity website http://open2.senecac.on.ca/sites/academic-integrity/for-students to understand and learn more about how to prepare and submit work so that it supports academic integrity, and to avoid academic misconduct.

Discrimination/Harassment
All students and employees have the right to study and work in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. Language or activities that defeat this objective violate the College Policy on Discrimination/Harassment and shall not be tolerated. Information and assistance are available from the Student Conduct Office at student.conduct@senecapolytechnic.ca.

Accommodation for Students with Disabilities
The College will provide reasonable accommodation to students with disabilities in order to promote academic success. If you require accommodation, contact the Counselling and Accessibility Services Office at ext. 22900 to initiate the process for documenting, assessing and implementing your individual accommodation needs.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.

By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.
