Rational Rose CASE tool of UML is introduced and used for course project to specify the system requirement, analysis and design from static and dynamic aspects.

CILO-2: Analyse and translate requirements specification into an implementable design, based on a structured and organized software development process. CILO-3: Work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team to design, build, evaluate, and test software systems. CILO-4: Create and manage software projects by using UML diagrams.
