School of Computer Science BCS accreditation 2021 - 2026

Basic design of web-based system driven by GUI and Database design

Assesement : Reports and group presentations

Students learn to design systems using UML class diagrams that include object oriented features. During workshops students model parts of the tree of life to design systems that use inheritance and interfaces. In another practical workshop they reverse engineer the hierarchical components of a JavaFX application to extract its design from a snapshot.
