IS 610 - Analysis Design of Information Systems

The System Development Life Cycle begins with some recognition of a problem or some request for change. The systems analyst is generally responsible for processing such requests through to complete system specifications, and may also function as a project leader through system installation. This course begins with initail problem investigation, and proceeds through feasibility analysis, requirements determination, general design and implementation planning. Students learn the process and products of systems analysis through a combination of textbook readings, lectures and systems analysis assignments that are based on a case description. Structured methodologies and CASE tools, such as the dataflow diagramming approach, are used. A course project is required.
