Description

Overview

Theory-based learning to hands-on programming and system development. With a structured project approach and formal documentation format, learners will practice object-oriented design, file handling, and algorithmic problem solving using C++.

Objectives

• By the end of this chapter, learners will be able to:
• Apply fundamental and advanced C++ constructs in real-world applications.
• Develop object-oriented programs and perform memory management.
• Design mini-projects and system simulations using data structures and file operations.
• Document project implementation and findings in a professional report.

Section 1: Capstone Projects

 sample project outlines to consolidate concepts learned throughout the internship.

Project 1: Hotel Management System

Objective: Create a menu-driven application for hotel room booking and guest records.

Core Concepts:

• Classes and objects
• File I/O for customer records
• Conditional logic and menus

Project 2: Railway Reservation System

Objective: Simulate a railway ticket booking system with seat availability tracking.

Key Features:

• Structures and enumerations
• Dynamic memory allocation
• Exception handling and validation

Project 3: Taxi Booking App

Objective: Build a command-line-based taxi booking application.

Skills Practiced:

• Pointers and class composition
• Functional decomposition
• Data persistence using file handling

Project 4: Sorting and Searching Visualizer

Objective: Implement basic sorting and searching algorithms with output formatting.

Techniques Used:

• Arrays, loops, and recursion
• STL usage (optional)
• Formatted output for clarity

Project 5: Mini Hackathon Challenges

Objective: Solve open-ended problems during Days 27-30.

Areas Covered:

• Algorithm design
• Optimized C++ coding
• Application of OOP, memory handling, and data structures

Section 2: Final Internship Report Structure

Each learner will compile a technical report based on their project, emphasizing design decisions and execution.
