| Module Overview |
Object-Oriented analysis and design is a widely used paradigm within the software-engineering community. This course will expand on the ideas introduced in the first year Java programming language course (some recap will be done). The emphasis on the module will be on developing well-designed object-oriented program so that students understand the implementation phase of a software development lifecycle, and how it follows on from the design phase and how code is tested. |

|
| Module Aims |
The aim of this module is to allow students to experience implementing software using Java. At the end of the module, students should have practical skills in using Java as a programming language and how it fits into a software engineering project, and should appreciate how to develop readable code, adhere to coding standards and test code. |

|
| Learning Outcomes |
|
By the end of this module, the student should be able to:
- Recognise and use the basics of implementing a system in an object-oriented programming language (Java)
- Evaluate the design issues that need to be successfully addressed in order to successfully implement a complex system
- Deliver an implementation of a small system given a set of requirements
- 4. Recognise the importance of documenting and testing code.
