Prerequisite Modules:
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
This module will develop skills in secure mobile application development and give potential and current ICT professionals the fundamental skills and knowledge to develop web and mobile applications.
This software engineering module will develop knowledge to understand and apply the object-oriented approach to software development. It will also emphasise Good Software Engineering Practices. It will also enhance individual and team working skills via individual investigative project and presentation, individual exercises, and a team project.
This is a flexible learning version of ED5031 Software Engineering
Syllabus:
Object Oriented Analysis/Design: Object Oriented Paradigms (one in detail e.g. OMT-object-modeling technique/UML-unified modelling language) focusing on architecture and behavioural design and representation.
Use Cases.
Design Patterns.
Software Reuse.
Overview of Object Oriented Programming Languages (e.g. Java/Smalltalk).
Individual Project/Case Study.
Team Project in the area of Software Design for Advanced Communication Systems (e.g. Call Handling and Mobility Management Systems in mobile system).
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
Apply basic software engineering concepts and techniques to the software development process.
