Title Software Design and Architecture Comparison (Eclipse vs Openstack)
Overview Students will research existing software design documents and resources for both projects and then write a report detailing their differences and helpfulness to various levels of developers.
Prerequisite Knowledge Students should have:
  • Taken a CS1 course (Introduction to Programming).
    • Already learned syntax and the basics of a programming language.
    • Already learned simple data structures.
  • Rudimentary software design knowledge
    • Could be delivered along-with this activity
    • Ex: Design Patterns knowledge
Learning Objectives Upon completion, students should:
  • Understand how thoughtful software design is encouraged, or not, in open source communities.
  • Be able to give examples of software design artifacts, and how to go about finding them.
  • Realize what they consider good software design, and be able to back it up with reason.
  • Realize why software design is important, and how it will effect them in their future careers.
