Learning outcomes: On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to: 1. Explain the structure and operation of a range of different design patterns. (MQF1) 2. Explain different design patterns in terms of the solutions that they offer to a particular problem in a particular context. (MQF2; MQF6) 3. Make a selection between candidate design patterns based upon a rational critical evaluation of the different patterns available for a particular environment. (MQF1) 4. Critically evaluate an example implementation of design patterns in a programming language. (MQF1; MQF6) MQF Learning Outcome Area MQF1 - Innovation, Knowledge and critical thinking skills MQF2 - Practical skills MQF3 - Social skills & responsibilities MQF4 - Values, attitudes, professionalism and ethics MQF5 - Communications, leadership and team skills MQF6 - Problem solving & scientific skills MQF7 - Research, Information management and lifelong learning skills MQF8 - Managerial & entrepreneurial skills

Transferable Skills: The following employability skills are introduced (I), developed (D) and/or assessed (A): Analytical (D, A), Critical Thinking (D, A), Problem Solving (D, A), Learning (D, A), Creativity (D), Ingenuity (D), Enquiry (D), Imagination (D, A)

12.

Teaching-learning and assessment strategy: Weekly 2 hour lectures per week cover the theoretical aspects of the module. Weekly 1 hour tutorials provide an opportunity to solve practical exercises, based on the current week's lecture. A range of teaching and learning strategies will be employed, including lectures, practical exercises, tutorials and software demonstrations. Videos will also be utilised as appropriate to the material of the course. Synopsis: This module will introduce the concept of software design patterns, and explore the wide variety of patterns that may be applied to the production, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance of software. The format of the module will emphasize the discussion of patterns and their application. Each pattern will be discussed in terms of its motivation, usefulness, and implementation, with an emphasis on code examples and illustrations from the standard libraries.
