This subject will provide students with knowledge and skills in the areas of problem definition, feasibility analysis, requirements gathering, system analysis and systems design using object oriented modelling. In particular, students will gain experience in the object oriented approach to systems development including gathering and modelling requirements using object oriented tools and techniques and designing solutions to business problems.
