This course introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics widely used in computing and business courses. Topics include set theory, relations, functions, logic, and graph theory, emphasizing mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills that prepare students for various computing tasks.  At the end of the course, the students are expected to demonstrate a solid foundation in discrete mathematics through process or IS modeling using the concepts learned across topics to analyze, represent, and evaluate real-world business processes, system rules, structures, and workflows.

This course caps three years of study in the 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 training of the students at CCS in a single original project of their choice, which focuses on the implications of introducing a computing solution to problems in business processes.  The course will develop each student’s ability to use this knowledge to become more effective research and development computing professionals. Students must defend their final project title, comprising Chapters 1–3, in an oral test to complete the course.

This course is designed to equip students with fundamental skills and techniques in utilizing an automation tool for business process automation. Students will learn the basics, from setting up PAD to creating simple workflows that make tasks automatic. The course will explore User Interface (UI) actions, manage files and folders automatically, automating tasks within Microsoft Office, mainframes and on the internet. By the end of this course, students will not only be proficient in using an automation tool but will also possess the strategic mindset needed to identify and optimize various business processes through automation.

This course introduces the fundamental principles and concepts of Information Technology Security and Management with emphasis on organizational risk management. Students will learn core information security principles, particularly the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad, as the foundation of effective security programs. The course enables students to understand risk and risk management processes, examine information security frameworks, and explain the security lifecycle used in managing information systems. It also covers procedural, people, technical, physical, and environmental security controls, as well as disaster recovery and business continuity management in organizational contexts. As a culminating requirement, students will apply their learning by developing a comprehensive IT Security and Management Plan for a hypothetical industry organization of their choice.

This course is designed to give introductory knowledge to conduct a systematic investigation of a problem, which focuses on organizational processes that can be solved using Computing. The students will gain an overview of research processes, ethics, methodologies, theories, frameworks, and techniques aligned with the Information Systems (IS) track. Further, the course will also introduce evaluation procedures and assessment techniques of published scholarly works in the field of computing. Utilize commonly used statistical tools to develop their ability to analyze data effectively and derive meaningful conclusions. At the end of each grading period, the students present a comprehensive literature review, extracting insights along with the phases of research.

This course is designed to familiarize students with the basic concepts, principles, and processes related to the business organization, the functional areas of management, and the information systems used in organizations. Particular emphasis will be given to the study of management functions like planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, and orient the students on the importance of these functions and the role of each area in an organization. Additionally, the course will explore the role of information systems in supporting these management functions, enhancing decision-making, improving efficiency, and enabling effective communication within the organization. The course output is an Organizational Analysis, which focuses on the structure and design of the organization, and how the organization’s systems, including information systems, capacity, and functionality influence outputs.

This course emphasizes the practical application of quantitative reasoning and data analysis. The core topics include the nature of quantitative methods, descriptive measures, measures of association, sampling and sample size estimation, simple linear regression, and other basic mathematical tools used for decision-making.  Students are expected to develop a business problem analysis report, implementing quantitative methods.

This course is a continuation of IS Project Management 1, which is an in-depth study of project management and analysis of projects using appropriate frameworks.  The core topics shall include the final five PM Knowledge Areas: resource, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholders.  At the same time, this course also explores project management using ICT software such as, Microsoft Project, ProjectLibre, and Lucidchart (Network diagram). After concluding the course, students will finalize the project initially submitted in ISPM 1, and integrate it with the Resource Management Plan, Communication Management Plan, Risk Analysis Plan, and Procurement Plan. The project can be presented individually or as a group.

This course covers concepts on understanding digital marketing. The course shall be emphasizing the various digital channels and technologies that will promote products or services to different audiences. Topics include the different digital marketing strategies and impacts of different digital platforms. At the end of the semester, the students are expected to develop a mock-up, or a model of a website used for marketing.

This course is designed to familiarize the students with the basic concepts, principles, and processes related to business organization, and the functional areas of management. Particular emphasis will be given to the study of management functions like planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, and orient the students on the importance of these functions and the role of each area in an organization. The course output is an Organizational Analysis which focuses on the structure and design of the organization and how the organization’s systems, capacity, and functionality influence outputs.

The course is the continuation of Information Management (ISA 224). This will introduce principles and foundations of distributed databases which focus on distributed database management system architecture, design, query processing and optimization, concurrency control and reliability protocols. At the end of the semester the students are expected to design a distributed database system for a hypothetical organization

The course introduces enterprise architecture, a strategic framework that aligns an organization’s business goals to its information technology (IT) infrastructure. It covers the overview of enterprise architecture, as well as its planning, development, and deployment in an organization. At the end of this course, the students will develop an enterprise architecture plan that provides a plan to improve the current architecture of an organization.
