Course Number: CS 432
Course Title:
Modern Software Engineering
Course Description
Introduces modern software engineering using the object-oriented paradigm. Develops an object
model for use in object-oriented analysis, design, and programming. Topics include object
modeling, UML, object-oriented analysis and design.
Prerequisite Courses
CS208 Computer Science Fundamentals
and
CS362 Data Structures
Course Overview
This course highlights key issues in Modern Software Engineering theory and practice by
focusing on a modern approach to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and comparing this
approach to the traditional Waterfall software engineering approach.
Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Explain the concept of software life cycle in terms of phases and their deliverables by
comparing software engineering approaches such as the Waterfall and Unified Process.
2. Justify object-oriented design philosophy by explaining via examples encapsulation,
interfaces, reuse, classifiers, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, overloading, overrridng
and design patterns.
3. Use object-oriented design philosophy to create a new, or improve an existing, mediumsized software design utilizing the Unified Modeling Language and Unified Process
4. Create a use-case-based software requirements specification that specifies the functional
and non-functional requirements for a medium-sized software system.
5. Demonstrate through involvement in a team project the ability to achieve a common
software design goal.
6. Provide advanced judgment concerning software engineering as part of a basis for social
and political decision making

Course Materials
Required Resources:
Online Course Content / Weekly course notes provided by the facilitator.
Technology Tools:
A UML development environment (student’s choice) that is capable of producing a UML
diagram image that can be inserted into MS Word (standalone jpeg is fine).
Optional Materials:
Arlow, J. & Neustadt, I. (2005). UML 2 and the Unifeid Process (2nd). Uppder Saddle River,
NJ: Addison-Wesley. ISBN: 0-321-32127-8.
(Although not required, this book is highly recommended. This is a practitioner’s trade
paperback that provides an excellent supplement to the UML diagrams and SDLC
introduced in the course.)
Schach, S. (2011). Object-Oriented & Classical Software Engineering. (8th edition). New
York: McGraw-Hill. ISBN: 978-0-07-319126-4.
(This is student textbook that provides an nice supplement to the more contemporary
software engineering concepts presented in the course.)
Pre-Assignment:
•
In Reynolds v. Sims (1964), the Supreme Court of the United States stated,
“Undoubtedly, the right of suffrage is a fundamental matter in a free and
democratic society. Especially since the right to exercise the franchise in a
free an unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political
rights, any alleged infringement of the rights of citizens to vote must be
carefully and meticulously scrutinized.”
– Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 561-62 (1964).
Recently, the use of electronic voting machines and the software applications that control
these machines have received increasing scrutiny. Write a short essay, 2 to 3 double-spaced
pages, which address the question,
“What is the most significant software issue associated with electronic voting
machines and the role software practitioners play in addressing this issue?”
Keep in mind that you are writing a thesis-support essay that will be based on your own
conviction. Begin with an introduction that states the issue/problem and your position on
this issue, a body that supports and argues for your position, with appropriate citations as
necessary, and a conclusion. Note: there is no single ‘right’ answer to this question.
