For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/disability

Developing medium and large scale software systems requires analysis and design prior to implementation. This subject introduces students to software design, with specific focus on object-oriented design, and the implementaiton of designs using an object-oriented programming language. Topics include: software design priciples; object-oriented design concepts and modelling; design patterns and their applications; object-oriented programming and frameworks.

On completion of this subject, students should be able to:

• Apply software design principles to object-oriented design
• Develop object-oriented models for a medium-sized software system
• Evaluate design trade-off of different designs
• Implement an object-oriented design in a suitable language
• Use commonly available object-oriented design frameworks for application development
• Apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals
• Develop simple programs that require concurrent execution

• Project work during semester, expected to take about 36 hours (30%)
• A mid-semester test (10%)
• 2-hour end-of-semester written examination (60%)

To pass the subject, students must obtain at least 50% overall

• 15/30 in project work
• And 35/70 in the mid-semester test and end-of-semester written examination combined.
