Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Be able to analyse and compare between user and system requirements and between functional and non-functional requirements of a software system for meeting the needs of users
- Activities:
- System and user requirements, and functional and non-functional requirements will be taught. Examples and case studies will be discussed during lectures; and students will be given related problems to solve during the lab/tute classes.
02. Be able to relate the principles of system and requirements engineering to how they together contribute to building a computer-based system successfully
- Activities:
- Principles of systems, its decomposition, hierarchy of development work, requirements engineering will be taught so that students will understand how they contribute to building a computer-based system successfully. Examples and case studies will be discussed during the lectures; students will be given related problems to solve during the lab/tute classes
03. Be able to compare the different types of software architectures and to relate software architecture and design to how they together contribute to building a software system to meet the needs of users
- Activities:
- Business architecture, enterprise architecture, and technical architecture will be covered. We also discuss how they are related to the types of architectures used in other disciplines, eg, business, civil engineering etc,
04. Be able to compare between the Agile and Water Fall Development methods and understand how to apply the Scrum methodology to Agile software development.
- Activities:
- The overview of Agile Development method, its advantages and disadvantages, Agile versus Water Fall Development methods, Extreme programming, and Scrum development methodology will be covered.
