Software Design (CSE 564) at ASU

I taught  Software Design (CSE 564) at Arizona State University for three years  – Fall 2022, Spring 2021, and Fall 2020. This is a graduate-level course for students in Computer Science and Software Engineering programs.

This course: (a) examines software design issues and techniques; (b) presents a comparison of design methods and a survey of design representations; (c) reviews how to apply design principles, patterns, and architectures to create reusable and flexible software systems; and, (d) describes how to document the design and architecture of a software system using a visual notation.
