| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To extend students' knowledge and proficiency in object oriented design and to provide students with the ability to apply concepts of algorithm and data structure design, analysis, implementation and testing. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Demonstrate an extended knowledge and understanding of object oriented modelling and design concepts concerning inheritance, interfaces and abstract classes. |
| 2 | Design appropriate and efficient implementations for commonly occurring data abstractions. |
| 3 | Identify and implement simple examples of selected software system classes. |
| 4 | Use an event handling model to identify components and interaction required to design and implement object oriented programs that incorporate a graphical user interface. |
| 5 | Analyse, and make a critical comparison between, alternative designs of algorithms and data structures based on efficiency, scalability and security concerns. |
