=== Overview ===

After completing COMP2911 you should:
  * Understand the engineering design process
  * Have an appreciation of the role of design in computing
  * Work effectively in teams to design and implement solutions to large problems
  * Select and/or design the appropriate algorithms/data structures/class hierarchies when developing software to solve non-trivial new and unfamiliar problems

=== Specific Skills ===
    * Understand the fundamentals of Object Oriented (OO) programming.
    * Design OO solutions for larger problems using abstraction and interfaces.
    * Be able to appropriately reuse code using inheritance.
    * Understand the issues involved in designing classes in an OO system.
    * Distinguish between well-designed OO programs and poorly designed OO programs.
    * Be aware of and make appropriate use of the most common design patterns in your class designs.
    * Understand the most common algorithm design methodologies, and their strengths and weaknesses
    * Appreciate when to select existing algorithms and when to design new ones.
    * Be able to design reasonable algorithms to solve a range of problems.
    * Be able to successfully develop large projects in teams using agile methods.
    * Engage in effective pair programming.
    * Follow a style guide and engage in effective code review.
    * Understand and effectively use: program by contract, test driven development, and refactoring.
    * Work effectively in a team.
    * Use an IDE.
    * Program in Java.
