COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this course is to expose students to contemporary software design methodologies, and to equip them with knowledge and skills necessary to conquer complexity in design of large-scale software and to improve the quality of end products. This course introduces design techniques and methodologies for improving the productivity of software development and the quality of software. The course introduces fundamental design concepts and notations with emphasis on Unified Modeling Languages (UML) and design patterns. The course also discusses the role and impact of software design on other elements of software development processes.

Students will participate in a semester long project to give them hands-on experience with software design principles. In the project students will practice principles and techniques introduced in the class in a team environment.

Prerequisites: "Cpts 223 Advanced Data Structures", "Cpts 322 Software Engineering Principles I"
