original MSE program proposal, but was intended to be replaced, first by ENSC 263 and subsequently
by ENSC 280. ENSC 280 is now correctly listed as a program requirement, but the calendar
incorrectly continues to show PHYS 231 as a requirement.

CMPT 213-3 Object oriented design in Java
Calendar Information
Course number: CMPT 213
Course title: Object oriented design in Java
Credits: 3 Vector: 3-0-0
Course Description
An introduction to object oriented design using Java. The Java programming language is introduced,
with an emphasis on its advanced features. The course covers the building blocks of object oriented
design including inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces and abstract classes. A number of object
oriented design patterns
are presented, such as observer, iterator, and singleton. The course also
teaches best-practices in code construction. It includes a basic introduction to programming event-
driven graphical user interfaces.

Course(s) to deleted if this course is approved: None.
Rationale for the Introduction of this Course
Students entering upper-division Software Systems courses need a solid grounding in practical object
oriented design and code construction in Java. This will be the first course that Software Systems
students take that teaches Java, which is essential for later courses which use the language.
Additionally, students need a second year course focused on program design and code construction to
advance their programming ability beyond the introductory level taught in first year courses. This
course will bridge the gap into third year courses where students are expected to be proficient with
object oriented design
and programming. Finally, the course also serves as an introduction to GUI
programming and simple multi-threaded programs.

Rationale
This change reflects the replacement of first year programming options in the Systems One program
with CMPT 130-3. Building on that, CMPT 135-3is introduced as a second course in C/C++
programming to replace CMPT 120/125 as the normal course sequence for Software Systems Majors.
This allows students to consolidate their knowledge of
OC++
programming prior to taking on new
languages and higher-level software topics.
A consequence of this change is the removal of exposure to Java in the first year of the Software
Systems major. CMPT 213-3 is introduced in second year for this purpose, replacing CMPT 212.
A further change is the addition of CMPT 375-3 as an additional option for the final elective in the
Software Engineering curriculum.

Program Revisions - Systems One First Year Program
The following revisions are proposed to the Systems One First Year Program offered by the Faculty of
Applied Sciences at the Surrey campus.
Current
Proposed
Within the Systems One common core, students
complete a total of 12-15 units, including either
both of
• CMPT 120-3 Introduction to Computing
Science and Programming I
• CMPT 125-3 Introduction to Computing
Science and Programming II
or
• CMPT 128-3 Introduction to Computing
Science and Programming for Engineers
and
• ENSC 182-3Mechatronics Design I
and one of
• CMPT 105W-3 Process, Form, and
Convention in Professional Genres
• ENSC 105W-3 Process, Form, and
Convention in Professional Genres
and one of
• CMPT 106-3 Applied Science, Technology
and Society
• ENSC 106-3 Applied Science, Technology
and Society
Within the Systems One common core, students
complete a total of 12 units, including both of
• CMPT 130-3 Introduction to Computer
Programming I
• ENSC 182-3Mechatronics Design I
and one of
• CMPT 105W-3 Process, Form, and
Convention in Professional Genres
• ENSC 105W-3 Process, Form, and
Convention in Professional Genres
and one of
• CMPT 106-3 Applied Science, Technology
and Society
• ENSC 106-3 Applied Science, Technology
and Society
Rationale
These changes simplify the Systems One common core by introducing CMPT 130 as a common first-
year programming course for both Mechatronics Systems Engineering majors and Software Systems
majors, replacing the CMPT 120/125 sequence currently used for Software Systems and CMPT 128
course currently used for Mechatronics Systems Engineering.
