Description

In this course, you’ll look at the processes and techniques that software engineers follow to design and implement a software system. This course builds upon the fundamentals of System Requirements and User Experience (INFS 1029) and looks at how to structure software so that it can be readily understood and modified.

Further develop your understanding of translating requirements into implementable designs by decomposition, composition, and abstraction; examine methods for validation of designs, and discuss principles underlying well-structured software implementations.
