• familiarity with at least one object-oriented programming language such as Java, C++, C#, Objective-C, or Eiffel


• be able to design, implement, and test medium-sized object-oriented programs that includes the use of concepts such as classes, encapsulation, inheritance/polymorphism, interfaces, packages, data structures (arrays, collections, lists, etc.), threading, IO operations (files, streams, and serialization), and basic GUI programming

• describe and apply object-oriented methods for analysis and design,


• explain the principles of software architecture, including the variety of common architectures and design patterns and their use,


• understand and be able to execute all the primary facets of software development within software engineering including analysis, design, implementation, testing, validation, and verification,


• be able to document the analysis, design, and software architecture of large systems through the use of common standards for documentation including UML and C#'s documentation tools,


• 
  design and implement software using the C# programming language, including the use of C# data structures (arrays, collections, strings, regexp), delegates, events, generics, LINQ, data access, multi-processing and threading, distributed programming, testing and NUnit, user interface programming, and Web programming,
  


• be able to continuously change (re-factor) a software system through adjustments in its architecture or refinements in its configuration,


• be able to construct useful, coherent, large-scale systems of up to approx. 10 KLOC in size in the C# programming language, including the ability to perform system and domain analysis for a given problem, propose an appropriate software architecture, write a system specification and its implementation, and validate the implementation against its specification.

• object-oriented analysis and design using UML as modeling language


• software architectures and design patterns


• principles of software engineering


• the C# programming language and the .NET platform


• advanced programming in an OO language

12 lectures + 10 exercise sessions.

Teaching and learning interactions are primarily in the form of lectures, small group exercises, and assignments in the first two-thirds of the course. The last third of the semester focuses on a software engineering project.

Assignments will be given each week and they will be due in one week, but for the break in week 42. Each assignment will be specified to be individual or group-based. Individual assignments must be completed individually; group assignments must be completed with a group. Groups will be determined at the beginning of the term.

Project work begins mid-November. 

Summative assessment for this course consists of a combination of summative assessment of the project and the oral examination.

The duration of the oral exam is 20 minutes.  

• [OOSE] Object-Oriented Software Engineering by Bernd Bruegge and Allen H. Dutoit. 3rd. edition. 2010. [OOSE] is the main text book for the course, which we shall follow. Most of this book will be used and will be the basis for most of the OOSE lectures.


• [PrC#] Programming C# 6.0 by Ian Griffiths. This book gives a thorough introduction to C# version 6.0 and the whole .NET platform. This book will be used for most of the C#/.NET lectures.

• [C#P] C# Precisely by P. Sestoft and Henrik I. Hansen. [C#P] is a distillation of the ECMA C# standard for the reader who knows Java and for those not interested in digesting the entire 500+ page standard.
