Object Oriented Software Engineering

In this course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of object-oriented software engineering. The course content is designed to cover the first three phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), providing a solid foundation for aspiring software engineers.

Course Outline:

• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

• Requirement Analysis and Software Requirements Specification (SRS):

  • Techniques for gathering and analyzing requirements
  • Writing effective SRS documents

• Unified Modeling Language (UML)

  • Class Diagrams: Representing the static structure of the system
  • Use Case Diagrams: Capturing functional requirements
  • Activity Diagrams: Modeling workflows and processes
  • Sequence Diagrams: Illustrating object interactions over time

• Implementation:

  • Principles of encapsulation
  • Types of classes
  • Managing class relations
  • Adhering to SOLID concepts for robust software design

• Design Patterns:

  • Creational Patterns: Techniques for object creation
  • Structural Patterns: Simplifying relationships between entities
  • Behavioral Patterns: Managing complex control flows and algorithms

Through a combination of labs, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, students will learn to apply these concepts to develop well-structured and maintainable software systems. This course equips students with the skills needed to excel in the field of software engineering and prepares them for tackling complex software development projects.
