CMIS 3125 - Systems Analysis & Design


Credit Hours: 3

This project course introduces students to “systems thinking” and experientially introduces the students to some of the basic concepts and tools of systems analysis within the context of a real-life business problem. The traditional SDLC waterfall approach to systems analysis and design is stressed in order to prepare students for any business type or size (some of which may not have modern analysis and design tools). Students entering into this course must have a basic understanding of business and the idea of using programs that are integrated into systems to solve business problems. This requisite knowledge is built upon in teaching students how to analyze a business’s current information system; how to extrapolate user needs and the business’s additional processing requirements; and then how to design a system that not only meets the stipulated requirements while remaining within the project’s constraints, but remains in line with the entity’s mission/vision and optimizes business processes to position the entity more competitively in the market.
