SEN-457 Software Design and Architecture

Course Title: Software Design and Architecture

Course Code: SEN-457
Credit Hours Theory: 2
Credit Hours Lab (If 1
Applicable):
Course Objectives: This course focuses on elementary concepts in software design
especially the object-oriented software design. This course also
focuses on the architectural design issues as well as the use of
design patterns for solving different design problems. Use of
modern object oriented design and analysis tools like UML will
also be covered.
Learning Outcomes: After the successful completion of course, the students will be able
to:
CLO-1: Understand the role of design and its major activities
within the OO software development process, with focus on the
Unified process [C1].
CLO-2: Design OOD models and refine them to reflect
implementation details [C3, P1].
CLO-3: Implement the design model using an object-oriented
programming language [P1]
