Overview
This unit introduces you to object-oriented design principles and their application to the construction of quality software. You will learn the fundamental concepts that underlie modern object-oriented languages, and will learn how to implement your designs using at least one. You will also learn how to use standard notation to illustrate your designs.

Requisites
Learning outcomes
- Iteratively apply object-oriented design principles to design small to medium-size software systems, using standard software engineering notations, namely UML class diagrams and UML interaction diagrams.
- Describe the quality of object-oriented software designs, both in terms of meeting user requirements and the effective application of object-oriented design concepts and principles.
- Apply object-oriented programming constructs, such as abstraction, information hiding, inheritance, and polymorphism, to implement object-oriented designs using a programming language (namely, Java).
- Apply effective programming strategies to refactor and debug object-oriented implementations systematically and efficiently by using available programming language tools.
- Apply principles of software engineering practice to create object-oriented systems with peers using tools including integrated development environments (IDEs), UML drawing tools, and version control systems.
Workload
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of scheduled online and face to face learning activities and independent study. Independent study may include associated reading and preparation for scheduled teaching activities.
| Activity | Duration |
|---|---|
| Applied sessions | 28 hours |
