Subject Overview: 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 implementation of designs using an object-oriented programming language. Topics include: software design principles; object-oriented design concepts and modelling; design patterns and their applications; object-oriented programming and frameworks.
Objectives:

On successful completion of the 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; and
  • develop simple programs that require concurrent execution.
Assessment: Project work during semester, expected to take about 36 hours (30%); a mid-semester test (10%); and a 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.
Prescribed Texts: None
Breadth Options:
