| Course Description: |
This course aims to provide instruction in the field of software modelling and software designs. It's content is geared towards teaching students how to prepare quality documentation, covering requirements engineering and modelling, diagrammatic elements, both structural and behavioral as well as a long term deployment and maintenance plan.
|
| Course Objectives: |
The objective of this course is:
to provide modeling and design techniques used in software projects,
to have knowledge on the difficulties of specifying and engineering requirements for producing large software products,
to have an understanding of, and ability to apply, the methods of analysis and design,
to have knowledge of, and the ability to apply the principles of design patterns and to make use of them in design process for building proper class structures and solid software components
to have knowledge of , and the ability to apply, principles of user interface design such as affordances, awareness of mental models, visibility, mapping and feedback,
and to provide techniques to manage the documentation and source code in a software project.
