Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

Before commencing this course, you must complete EEET2580 Enterprise Application Development.


Course Description

 

This course introduces the principles and concepts involved in the analysis and design of large software systems. Major topics include but are not limited to:

  • Software design principles: OOP, TDD
  • Architectural patterns: Service-oriented architecture (SoA), multi-tier architecture, distributed
  • Design patterns: creational patterns, structural patterns, behavioral patterns

This course provides students a strong understanding and capability in performing software design responsibilities in their future work.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following program learning outcomes:

1.3. In-depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline.

2.1. Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.

2.2. Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.

2.3. Application of systematic engineering synthesis and design processes.

3.2. Effective oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.

3.3. Creative, innovative and pro-active demeanour.


On completion of this course, students should be able to:

  1. Perform analysis for a complex problem.
  2. Understand and apply key architectural patterns, design patterns and design principles to design a software system solution for a complex problem.
  3. Implement the design.
  4. Present the design and explain to stakeholders how it meets the requirements of the given problem.


Overview of Learning Activities

Learning activities will take the form of:

  • Lectures
  • Tutorials/Labs
  • Assignments


Overview of Learning Resources
