Course Objectives

  • To master the fundamental principles of object-oriented methodology-including abstraction, encapsulation, and inheritance and apply analysis techniques to model the static and dynamic behavior of software systems[cite: 54].
  • To implement rigorous system and object design strategies and utilize the Unified Modeling Language (UML) along with standard design patterns to construct robust, scalable software architectures[cite: 55].
