Course overview
This module introduces students to applying SOLID principles in the given scenarios and identifying the need to implement appropriate design patterns.
This module provides the foundation for writing reusable and decoupled software components, which is a prerequisite for fully understanding the following Advanced Programming Paradigms module. The skills acquired by this module will contribute significantly to students’ development as professionals in the respective fields.
Students will learn:
• How to design and implement software solutions, which are valuable skills for their future challenges as software architects.
• How to determine the need to implement the SOLID principles in the given scenarios.
• How to identify the need to apply appropriate design patterns in the data, business, and presentation application layer.
The module is taught in Java and C
programming languages. The module assessment is based on individual student projects. In these projects, students must create a properly designed software solution to the given specifications.

Minimal learning outcomes
- Determine the need to apply the SOLID principles in the given scenario, and implement them in the given scenario.
- Identify the need to apply appropriate design patterns in the business logic layer and apply them to the given scenario.
- Determine the need to apply design patterns in the data and service layer and apply them to the given scenario.
