This course aims to provide a comprehensive presentation of the key concepts and models and methodologies used in object-oriented approaches in software engineering. The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design using UML combines instruction on the software development processes, object-oriented technologies, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Students are provided a pragmatic approach to object-oriented (OO) software development using a widely adopted methodology (the Unified Process), the 1.4 UML specification, and OO technologies, such as the Java(TM) programming language. This course progresses through: a primer on OO technology and software development methodologies, requirements gathering and analysis (including interviewing stakeholders), system architecture and design, implementation, testing, and deployment. The classroom lectures expose students to other proven OOAD practices, such as class-responsibility- collaboration (CRC) analysis (used to discover the Domain entities) and Robustness analysis (used to move from analysis to design).Students will participate in a group project on object-oriented software engineering.

Graduate Project -I
3(3+0+0)
Students in the non-thesis option will normally complete their project in the last two terms of the program. Students should apply to the non-thesis option in their initial application rather than attempting to transfer to this option once registered in the program. The project supervisor must be a member of SWE dept. The project must represent a significant contribution to the state-of-the-art BUT does not involve the writing up of a dissertation. However, a project report summarizing the work is to be submitted to the project supervisor for grading. This part is dedicated to the literature review, analysis and design of the project.
