This course examines the fundamental concepts that comprise the information system (IS) functions in business and society, with emphasis on systems analysis & design. Together, we will study, discuss, analyze, and perform various exercises that bring into focus the myriad issues related to this most important field of study that affects virtually all aspects of business and society.
Drawing from classroom and on hands assignments, students will be better able to understand the numerous technical, managerial, regulatory, and social issues associated with identifying and analyzing requirements for subsequent development of information-based systems. These assignments will highlight the methodologies and modeling techniques that have evolved since the introduction of the computer to the business function, making possible the overall objective of deploying robust and efficient information systems.
Topics covered throughout this course will include the systems development life cycle, the role of the systems analyst, organizations as information systems, introduction to systems selection, definition of systems requirements, feasibility analysis, systems design, and system architecture.
The course is aligned with the Global Skill Development Council (GSDC) Software Development Life Cycle certification.
