Learning Outcome 2: Make effective use of the Java Software Development Kit Application Programming Interfaces

JavaFX Final Year Module Selection GUI

Objectives

The objective of this assessment is for you to demonstrate your ability to design and implement an OO system consisting of a set of Java classes, using advanced libraries within the Java SDK. In particular:

1. To study and correctly make use of a prebuilt student profile data model.
2. To build a suitable user interface using JavaFX 8 libraries.
3. To implement event handling procedures that provide a basis for an interactive and user-friendly system.
4. To adhere to standard principles of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern and appropriately decompose classes through abstraction and encapsulation.

JavaFX Module Selection GUI specification

A student profile captures the details of an individual second year undergraduate computing student and allows them to select their final year module options. There are compulsory modules that must be selected (depending on the course of study), and others that are only associated with certain courses. Modules either run in term 1 or 2, or all year long.

Your task is to build an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that dynamically allows modules to be selected based on the chosen course of study, and then stores this information. The application should be user-friendly and contain appropriate validation to ensure only a legitimate selection of modules is made.

For this prototype, you are only required to use the data of two courses, Computer Science and Software Engineering. However, the system should be designed such that it would be relatively simple to add further courses and modules in the future.

The table overleaf shows all of the available modules, their credit amount, and whether they are an option or compulsory for Computer Science and Software Engineering students.

Computer Science students have 45 compulsory credits, whereas Software Engineering students have 60 compulsory credits. Computer Science students can exclusively study IMAT3428.
