Welcome to the module "Object Oriented Programming for Engineers". The aims of this module are to introduce and develop a level of understanding of Object Oriented (OO) techniques, applying these techniques to the C++ and Java languages. This course is aimed at a postgraduate level, assuming a primary knowledge of at least one non-object oriented language such as C/Basic/Fortran.
