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


• be able to design, implement, and test medium-sized programs that includes the use of concepts such as threads, inheritance, object identity, object state, packages, files, streams, and serialization.

• be able to 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 use the common tools of the domain including configuration management, build systems, test frameworks, and version control,


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


• 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 a modeling language such as UML or BON


• software architectures and design patterns


• principles of software engineering


• the C# programming language and the .NET platform


• advanced programming in an OO language

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 with the assistance of the instructor.

Thus,

Assignment 1 distributed week 35, due week 36
Assignment 2 distributed week 36, due week 37
etc.

Project work begins on/around week 46. 

Summative assessment for this course consists of a combination of summative assessment of submitted homework assignments and the oral examination.

Assignments constitute 60% of the final course mark; the oral exam constitutes 40% of the final course mark.

The duration of the oral exam is 20 minutes (incl. group presentation).
