Introducing Object Oriented Programming For Engineering Technology Students With An App Development Tool

Technology is an ever advancing industry and is in some aspects taking over the world. Today most students have a smartphone and they keep it with them at all times. Current smartphones are designed primarily for teenagers and are designed to help student with

A great outcome of the app revolution is the transformative learning that apps can help foster. There are thousands of education apps in the Windows marketplace, Apple store and Google play store. From early learning “games” to study aids and even apps that will help you manage the classroom, with more being published every day.

Object-oriented programming at its core is a practice of strategic thinking. Essentially, in OOP we tend to focus on objects rather than "actions" and data rather than logic. A key step in OOP is identifying the objects one wants to manipulate and observing how they relate to each other. The basic idea of OOP involves breaking up the code into objects that can message each other, which proves to be very beneficial. To better understand and use object-oriented programming as intended, I decided to investigate two different languages that implement the object-oriented approach to programming. I chose Java because I am already familiar with the syntax and its

New technologies have caused a shift in our culture in many ways. The way we consume news, listen to music, watch movies, and even how we purchase everyday items. As technology changes so will our culture and communication and it is important that we continue to improve on them. Many of the advancements in technology have changed our way of life for the better. Learning how to construct a computer program is almost like learning a foreign language and the more you practice the better at it you become. Learning how to program inspires creativity and the power to impact the world. Computer programming involves developing lists of instructions often referred to as a code or coding. Computer programs can develop video games, graphics and animations and even allow students to attend class via online. Programing involves skilled attention to detail. Programmers can also rewrite, debug, maintain and test (and retest and retest) software and

Object-oriented programming (OOP) and procedural programming are two programming paradigms. Procedural programming is a method of writing software. It is a programming practice centered on the procedures or actions that take place in a program. Object-oriented programming centers on the object. Object-oriented programming creates objects from abstract data types that encapsulate data and functions together (Gaddis 2010). There are many similarities

Mobile technology is changing the way we live and it is beginning to change the way we learn. Mobile Learning (m-learning) is a revolution in e-Learning. Mobile learning involves the use of mobile technology, either alone or in combination with other information and communication technology (ICT), to enable learning anytime and anywhere. Learning can expand in different ways - people can use mobile devices to access educational article, connect with friends and others, both inside and outside classrooms. Mobile learning also encompasses efforts to support broad educational goals such as the effective administration of higher education systems and improved communication between schools and families. M-Learning is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually anywhere. Sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone using the same content, which leads to the reception of instant feedback and tips. This highly active process has proven to increase examination scores from the fiftieth to the seventieth percentile, and cut the dropout rate in technical fields by 22% (Saylor, Michael -2012).[1] M-learning also brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small devices, filled with tailored learning

Students today have essentially grown up with technology all around them and want to use it in every aspect of their lives – including education. That’s because students have an expectation that the same technology they use at home should also be available at school; and thanks to a large amount of information available on the internet, students have become the most enthusiastic and tech-savvy users on these mobile devices.

Wirshark is a network packet analyzer with many applications including network troubleshooting, analysis and software development. Wireshark can be used from within its graphical user interface (GUI) or from a command line, and is available on most operating systems.

An important, underrated and often overlooked tool for Computer Supported Collaborative Work, henceforth abbreviated CSCW, is the revision control system or version control system, henceforth abbreviated as RCS, or VCS, respectively. There are a plethora of RCS and VCS available from which to choose. Within the field of computer programming and software design, the use of RCS or VCS is a vital best practice, especially in development environments with many programmers, developers, engineers, administrators, and managers. However, RCS or VCS can and should be used wherever there are larger groups of CSCW regardless of the domain. Henceforth, RCS and VCS shall be referred to as any generic revision or version control system, abbreviated as RVCS. The significance of evaluating various RVCS becomes apparent by demonstrating and illustrating their importance. Such evaluation is then used to produce or derive guidelines that streamline the selection of the RVCS for a particular CSCW group.

Today’s mobile application ecosystem is being bombarded with radical innovations in many fields. However, not all areas have yet to benefit from the mobile technology. For example, there are few applications for learning mathematics that go beyond the traditional chalk and blackboard approaches. This is a problem. Approximately 65% of the population are visual learners, 30% are auditory learners, and 5% are kinesthetic learners. Around the globe there are special math classes and tutors for those students who find math hard and confusing.

Linguistic is the analysis which is applied to the object oriented which gives the accurate results when compare to other analysis. The main drawback of the object oriented approaches for software development is the object oriented analysis process which do not having the exact information. When the particular project was given by the clients they specify the information about the project which was in natural language. The information is tendered in linguistic it is a study of scientific language. The software engineering projects starts from the information given by the customer. Then the company has to work with that and analyze the complete information, requirements about the project. The main thing is to know about the project is to

In this present day time of innovation, world is moving quicker with the structuring of programming and its applications which makes the advancement at quick rate. Also, programming in cellular telephones is one of the cases of the mechanical advancement. Cellular telephones have turned into a part of human 's regular life. There are more than six billions versatile clients on the planet. Each cellular telephone has fittings and a specific programming called a working framework. There are numerous portable working frameworks accessible. It makes the Pads easy to understand and more effective on occasion. This study is about investigating the decisions of the product which is basically favoured in today 's business primarily among the adolescents. Here, we are taking the school understudies as the premise for our study. Programming inclination are basically application particular design alternatives that a client can change to suite their specific needs. This study concentrates on youngsters between 16 to 25 years old with experience utilizing cell phone engineering. The study directed up close and personal meetings to examine the view of cell phone OS.

Technology is an essential part of all walks of everyday life nearly everywhere on the planet. This is especially true in the use in education, such as engineering to create devices and how to program said devices. However, with technology comes with it the high cost of equipment, infrastructure, sparse communication avenues and energy to power it all. Several years ago intrepid group of Cambridge educators including Ebon Upton realized that we must prepare for the future demand of computer science skills in both to design and to program, but also to have a fundamental understanding of how these devices interact with the surrounding environment. In 2006 they developed a low cost, credit card sized computer called the Raspberry Pi. An
