CILO 1-4

Teaching activities are primarily based on lectures followed by simple examples to show students the basic skills.

More practical problems are then studied during tutorials in a small class setting that promotes discussions. The tutorial problems are typically related to the contents of the last lecture.

Students may form a small group or individually carry out a mini-project that goes through different phases of software development. Students will have chances to review the design from peers and therefore reinforce their learning.

Extra readings are provided for self-study and reference. The readings are generally related to lectured topics and allow students to pursue more details as well as bridge the conceptual gap between theories and applications.

This course provides essential knowledge and techniques for designing and implementing software systems. Students have ample opportunities to practice these skills with modern software development tools. A system design project will be carried out by students. They are required to identify their goals, analyze some practical problems as well as develop their own solutions.
