IS 320 Object-Oriented Modeling

Course Description:

Object-Oriented modeling is utilized to decompose complex problems into smaller, more manageable components, objects, that can be easily created with object-oriented technologies. Students will explore the principles of object-orientation and utilize Unified Modeling Language (UML) to define objects, their behaviors and relationship to other objects. The student will investigate approaches to object-oriented development and the relationship to implementation in such technologies as Java. Prerequisite: IS 317. 3:0:3

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Use the basic principles of object-orientation
2. Identify objects, classes and interfaces within a problem definition
3. Utilize object0oriented tools to practice key concepts of analysis and design.
4. Identify and define complex relationships that are available for organizing all the objects in the system.
5. Communicate both orally and in writing as an individual and as a member of a team.
