FIT2099 Object oriented design and implementation is a level 2, 6-credit-point, undergraduate unit from the Faculty of Information Technology, offered in 2026 in Semester 1 and Semester 2 at Clayton and Malaysia. It needs (FIT1045, FIT1048, FIT1051, FIT1053, FIT1054 or FIT1008); or ((ENG1003 or ENG1013) and (ENG1060 or ENG1014)) and unlocks 2 units, leading on to 6 units in all. Students rate it 3.0 out of 5 from 1 review and call it moderate.
This is the 2026 handbook entry. See the 2027 entry.
Useful ideas about design and UML but the group assignment takes over the semester. Workload depends a lot on your team. Pick teammates early, agree on a git workflow in week one and keep your design docs in sync with the code.
Pass these before you enrol.
2 units list FIT2099 as a prerequisite or corequisite.
This unit introduces you to object-oriented design principles and their application to the construction of quality software. You will learn the fundamental concepts that underlie modern object-oriented languages, and will learn how to implement your designs using at least one. You will also learn how to use standard notation to illustrate your designs.

Assessment details may change. Please refer to the assessment information in Moodle closer to the start of the teaching period.
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
Iteratively apply object-oriented design principles to design small to medium-size software systems, using standard software engineering notations, namely UML class diagrams and UML interaction diagrams.
Describe the quality of object-oriented software designs, both in terms of meeting user requirements and the effective application of object-oriented design concepts and principles.
Apply object-oriented programming constructs, such as abstraction, information hiding, inheritance, and polymorphism, to implement object-oriented designs using a programming language (namely, Java).
Apply effective programming strategies to refactor and debug object-oriented implementations systematically and efficiently by using available programming language tools.
Apply principles of software engineering practice to create object-oriented systems with peers using tools including integrated development environments (IDEs), UML drawing tools, and version control systems.
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of scheduled online and face to face learning activities and independent study. Independent study may include associated reading and preparation for scheduled teaching activities.
You are expected to regularly check Moodle for announcements.
You should monitor your Monash email address daily for any communication from teaching staff
