CDA1202 Foundations of Software Design
40 hours, 3 credits
This course introduces students to software design and development principles. Students will examine Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies and frameworks, as well as common architecture styles used in software systems. Emphasis is placed on applying design techniques and tools to create efficient, maintainable solutions. Students will classify logic structures and use them in program design and through practical exercises, they will develop flowcharts and pseudocode to plan modular, reusable components. The course also covers evaluation methods to ensure software designs are correct, complete, and aligned with requirements.
CDA1330C Operating Systems
60 hours, 4 credits
In this course, students learn how operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and the Mac OS X are fundamental components of all computing systems.
