Design e Arquitecturas de Software

Home / Oferta Formativa / Coimbra Institute of Engineering / Master / Master in Computer Engineering

Base Knowledge

Object oriented programming, java programming

Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical exposition of main  concepts in theoretical classes, and also realization of theoretical-practical exercises.

In lab classes, students are required to conduct programming assignments, related to the application of design patterns, and will work on creating an integrator project.

Evaluation is based  on exam and project.
