SE 2811 - Software Component Design

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course deals with the design and implementation of software subsystems. The concept of design patterns is introduced and common patterns are applied to the development of software components. Laboratory projects provide an opportunity for students to implement components and to integrate them into complete systems. As a final assignment, small teams of students conduct research on software design patterns and present & demonstrate the results of their investigations to the class. (prereq: SE 2030 , CS 2852 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Apply object-oriented design patterns in software application-specific contexts
  • Determine the appropriate design pattern to apply in a specific context
  • Design and implement small software components and systems
  • Apply UML class and sequence diagrams in the process of designing and documenting software applications
  • Use computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools in the design and software documentation process
  • Conduct independent research on software design patterns
  • Document software design patterns in both written and oral reports
Prerequisites by Topic
