Abstract :
Unified Modeling Language is a specialized basic curriculum of software engineering, which plays an important role in improving the ability of analyzing problems, problem-solving abilities in software development. Modern software project modeling engineers require a range of multi-disciplinary skill-sets in order to increase the likelihood of project success. Delivery of a course unit, which attempts to prepare students for the rigors demanded from this role, demands a delicate blend of topics from curricula administrators and pedagogy that best suits its environmental constraints. Our Software Engineering staff member adopt an integrated case method approach in an attempt to link theoretical constructs of software project modeling with a real-world, practical implementation example. An analysis of student feedback indicates a variation in understanding of what had been learnt, providing an opportunity to advance the teaching model.
