Course Overview

The course covers the analysis and design of programming projects from the Unified Modeling Language perspective. Object oriented analysis techniques will be introduced through various case studies. Once the domain model is well understood during the analysis phase, the course covers the problems encountered and solutions used in developing a good and robust design model. Several design patterns will be introduced during the design phase. Students will be given the Rational Rose Enterprise Edition for UML diagrams
There will be at least three UML assignments, an in-class Mid Term (open), an in-class presentation topic, and a Final project (which involves developing the analysis and design model and a minor programming part in an object oriented programming language of your choice).

Course Grading

The actual grade will be determined based on the performance in the home works, mid term, class presentation, and the final project. The percentage of each component relative to the total grade is: Homeworks (30%), Mid Term (30%), In Class Presentation (10%), and Final Project (30%)
