SWEN-262: Engineering of Software Subsystems |
An introduction to the principles of the foundations of contemporary
software design. Topics include software subsystem modeling, design
patterns, design tradeoffs, and component-based software development,
with a focus on application of these concepts to concrete design
problems. The relationship between design and related process issues
such as testing, estimation, and maintenance are also discussed.
The course will encompass a variety of concepts and topics, among them are the following:
Show that developing software systems can follow established design principles and patterns to make it an engineering activity rather than just a programming activity.
Learing Outcomes and Exam Study Guides
This course will combine a small amount of lecture, student presentations, and many in-class activities. Team project work will exist throughout the entire term. Some class time will be used for team meetings and discussions between the instructor and teams.
Required:
