OBJECT ORIENTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS (6 SCU)

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: identify and explain the difference between traditional methods of analysis and object-oriented analysis; design a system definition from a business problem and produce a conceptual model using UML; apply object oriented techniques for exploring problem domains; relate the concept of problem domains and application domains to object-oriented analyses; and describe object-oriented constructs.

Topics:

This course is designed to teach students the fundamental concepts of an object-oriented analysis, modeling, and design. The course begins by reviewing the concept of a complexity analysis with respect to an OO analysis. The object model is considered in detail to ensure the student understands how to model the entire object in a communicative way and possibly to program. This also ensures that students understand the concept of modeling in an OO environment. The course will also discuss in detail modeling concepts, design methodology, and design implementation.
