IT Solution Architecture

1 CreditsBoth

Description

The IT Solution Architecture course integrates design concepts and methods to develop IT solutions from both the software and system-level perspectives. It focuses on the analysis, design and implementation of an IT solution through which business requirements, software qualities and solution elements are transformed into implementable artefacts. By combining critical analysis with hands-on design and development, the course prepares students to participate effectively in the architecture design and development stages of a software-intensive IT solution project. It is highly recommended that students are also proficient in IS442 Object Oriented Programming and Java programming language prior to reading this course.
