Course Component : Term Project

Project Type: Individual Term Project

CSCI114 Java Term Project: AI-Assisted Application Development

Project Summary

Students will design and implement a Java-based application of their choice, demonstrating object-oriented programming principles and unit testing.  AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, CodeWhisperer) may be used to assist in the development process, but the final code must reflect the student’s own understanding and effort.

Learning Objectives

By completing this project, students will:

• Apply object-oriented design principles in Java.
• Use AI tools to support software development tasks.
• Create a functional application with clear structure and documentation.
• Write and execute tests.
• Reflect on the role of AI in software engineering.

• Submit it for preapproval on Canvas

Java Implementation

• Minimum of 3 custom classes using OOP principles.
• Use of inheritance, interfaces, or abstract classes.
• Optional: collections, exception handling, file I/O.

AI-Assisted Development
