Paul Akiki

Hello! My name is Paul Akiki, and I'm a software developer and an academic educator from the Land of the Cedars, Lebanon. I have worked at Notre Dame University – Louaize as a Computer Science lecturer. I have taught various courses related to software design and development, databases, and digital image processing.

Currently, I'm pursuing a PhD degree in Computing and Communications at The Open University in the United Kingdom. My PhD work is in the field of Software Engineering, which focuses on resource-driven adaptation for software systems based on changes in resources, with a combination of self-adaptive systems and resource management areas.

I'm also a freelance software developer. I have experience in the development of desktop, web, and mobile applications. My mother tongue is Lebanese (Arabic). I'm primarily English educated, and French is my second foreign language. During my free time, I enjoy watching movies and television series and playing ping pong.

CSC 212 – Program Design and Data Abstraction I

This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of computer programming and basic software design. Topics include: Programming logic, design and implementation, problem decomposition and solving. Program development is done using C++ structures such as data types, input and output, control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers. Maintenance skills like program testing and debugging are also covered.

CSC 213 – Program Design and Data Abstraction II

This course introduces software design and implementation from an object-oriented perspective using the C++ programming language. Topics include data abstraction, encapsulation, information hiding, software reusability, composition, inheritance, polymorphism, operator overloading, templates, exception handling and file processing.

CSC 216 – Computer Programming I

This course is the first in a sequence of computer programming courses. The purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of programming in Visual Basic.NET, including problem solving, form and control properties, data types, control structures, procedures, arrays, and event-driven programming. Maintenance skills like program testing and debugging are also covered.

CSC 217 – Computer Programming II

This course focuses on intermediate level topics of computer programming. Topics include file processing, data abstraction, encapsulation, information hiding, software reusability, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), and Graphics Design Interface (GDI+).
