1.0. COURSE PURPOSE
Students will learn how to produce detailed object models and designs from system requirements; use the modeling conc
by UML; identify use cases and expand them into full behavioral designs; expand the analysis into a design ready for im
and construct designs that are reliable. The course begins with an overview of the object oriented analysis and design.

2.0. LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this course the student should be able to:
1. Provide a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts of the object model.
2. Learn how large, complex software systems are developed using modern software engineering methods and models.
3. learn the realistic application of object oriented development within a variety of problem domains.
