IS 225 System Analysis and Design [2nd Semester 2021-2022]
The course introduces students to the structured and object oriented - analysis and design, use of modeling tools, adherence to methodological life cycle and project management standards. Course includes analysis of current systems, logical and physical systems design, program development plans, testing implementation, maintenance and documentation plans. This course strikes a balance between the theoretical and applied aspects of system analysis, presenting state-of-the-art systems, procedures, methodology and software. These skills are applied by allowing students to experience analyzing and designing a “live” system for an outside client.
Business Intelligence
This course covers concepts on understanding business organizations'
data and how business intelligence (BI) technologies support the over-all
business administration. The course
shall be emphasizing the applications of business intelligence in support of
fact-based decision making. Hence, the
course will be allowing students to experience the Business Intelligence
process from extracting raw data to its conversion to information through
presentation using dashboards and turning it into knowledge/insights through
analysis. Further, BI tools and
technologies will also be introduced, providing students the ability to use one
of them to manipulate data and create tables and charts, which can aid
corporate strategies, organization performance, and business competitiveness.
Capstone Project 1 (IS 3212)
This course caps
three years of study in a form of a capstone project relatively topics parallel
with the Research cum Extension priorities of the department and project
agendas indicated in the CMO. This course is the culmination of the accumulated
educational experiences and trainings of the students at CICT in a single
original project of their choice, which focuses on the implication of
introducing a computing solution to problems on business processes. This course
leads to a title proposal and subject to approval and supervision of a faculty
mentor.
Enterprise Architecture
This course explores the design, selection, implementation and management
of enterprise IT
solutions.
The
focus
is on applications
and infrastructure and their fit with the business. Students learn
frameworks and strategies for infrastructure management, system
administration,
data/information
architecture,
content management, distributed computing, middleware, legacy system integration, system consolidation, software selection, total
cost
of ownership calculation,
IT investment
analysis and emerging technologies.
These topics are addressed both within
and beyond
the
organization, with attention
paid to
managing
risk and security within audit and compliance standards. Students also hone their ability to communicate
technology architecture strategies concisely to a general business audience.
IS 3110 IS Project Management 1 (1st Sem 2021-22)
The course discusses the concept of project management. The tools, techniques and methodologies used to address the issues in the context of Information Systems and Technologies. Using the framework of project life cycle, the course covers various aspects pertaining to key knowledge areas such as Project Cost, Scope, Time, Integration, Human Resource, Risk and Implementation Management.
Business Process Programming 1
Professional Issues in IS (1st 2021-22)
In
an era where information technology changes constantly, a thoughtful response
to these rapid changes requires a basic understanding of IT history, an
awareness of current issues, and a familiarity with ethics. This course tries
to introduce a balanced coverage of ethical problems and issues encountered by
computer professionals in today’s environment. This course will cover
provocative issues such as social networking, government surveillance, privacy laws,
computer security and reliability, and intellectual property from all points of
view. Students are asked as they face these challenges to think critically and
draw their own conclusions, which ultimately prepare them to become
responsible, ethical users of future technologies.
Data Structures and Algorithm
The course covers the standard data representation and algorithms to solve computing problems efficiently (with respect to space requirements and time complexity of algorithm). This covers the following: Stacks, Queues, Trees, Graphs, Maps, and Sets. A thorough discussion of sorting and searching.
Quantitative Methods
This
course gives emphasis on the practical application of quantitative reasoning
and data analysis. The core topics include descriptive measures, measures of
association, sampling and sample size estimation, general linear models and
non-linear models, simple linear regression and other basic mathematical tools
use for decision-making.
CCIS 102 Computer Programming 1
The course covers the use of general-purpose programming language to solve problems. The emphasis is to train students to design, implement, test, and debug programs intended to solve computing problems using fundamental programming constructs.
Methods of Research in Computing (ISA 318)
This course is
designed to give an introductory knowledge to conduct a systematic investigation
of a problem, which focuses on business processes that can be solved using
Computing. The students will gain an overview of research intent and design,
ethics, methodology and technique, format (as per the recommended formatting
and guidelines of the department in writing the capstone / research paper) and
presentation, as well as data management and analysis informed by commonly used
statistical methods. The course will also introduce procedures and techniques
on evaluation and assessment of published scholarly works in the field of
computing and this will also develop each student’s ability to use this
knowledge to become more effective research and development computing
professionals.
IT Infrastructure and Network Technologies
This course provides an introduction to IT infrastructure issues and basic concepts on computer networking for students majoring in Information Systems. It covers topics related to both computer and systems architecture and communication networks, with an overall focus on the services and capabilities that IT infrastructure solutions enable in an organizational context. It gives the students the knowledge and skills that they need for communicating effectively with professionals whose special focus is on hardware and systems software technology and for designing organizational processes and software solutions that require in-depth understanding of the IT infrastructure capabilities and limitations. It also prepares the students for organizational roles that require interaction with external vendors of IT infrastructure components and solutions. The course focuses strongly on Internet-based solutions, computer and network security, business continuity, and the role of infrastructure in regulatory compliance.
Business Process Outsourcing 2
This course is the sequel
of the principles of business process outsourcing. It discusses the deeper
understanding on the business process outsourcing its terminology and
management. It also provides the different processes/ operations that can be
outsourced. With the different operations subject for outsourcing, various
tools and techniques are introduced.
Business Intelligence
This course covers concepts on understanding business organizations' data and how business intelligence (BI) technologies support the over-all business administration. The course shall be emphasizing the applications of business intelligence in support of fact-based decision making. Hence, the course will be allowing students to experience the Business Intelligence process from extracting raw data to its conversion to information through presentation using dashboards and turning it into knowledge/insights through analysis. Further, BI tools and technologies will also be introduced and their impacts on corporate strategies, organization performance, and business competitiveness.
Computer Programming
The course covers the
use of general purpose programming language to solve problems. The emphasis is
to train students to design, implement, test, and debug programs intended to
solve computing problems using fundamental programming constructs.
Capstone Project 2 (IS 4114 )
This course is a continuation of Capstone Project 1, which requires defined system specifications, design and evaluation of the capstone project (as per the approved project title during the title proposal). This leads to a full-blown project that will be presented / defended to a panel of experts and a client.
CCIS 102 :: Computer Programming 1
