CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
The catalog description should clearly state the scope of the course, its level, and what kinds of student goals the
course is designed to fulfill.
A study of systems analysis and implementation of business computer systems,
including such topics as system life cycles, analysis techniques, design techniques,
acquisition, implementation and maintenance techniques, and oral and written
communications.

Yes
Course:
BT 50 and one of the following: BT 16, BT 51, CIS

Rationale for Prerequisite? This capstone course builds on the content of database
applications (BT 50), plus relies on students to be proficient in at least one other area of
office applications (BT 16, BT 51) or introductory computer programming (CIS 16, CIS 18).
Describe representative skills without which the student would be highly unlikely to succeed .
Database design and development (BT 50).
Information system documentation (BT 16).
Financial analysis and forecasting, budgeting, cost/bbenefit analysis (BT 51).
Advanced database functionality through the use of VBA (CIS 16, CIS 18).

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
What should the student be able to do as a result of taking this course? State some of the objectives in terms of specific,
measurable student accomplishments.
1. Use the tools and techniques required to perform the analysis, design, development, and
implementation of a modest, small-enterprise information system.
2. Integrate software application packages throughout the information system project.
3. Work as an effective team member on a semester-long project.
4. Prepare and present written, electronic, and oral reports on all phases of the computer information
system life cycle.
COURSE CONTENT
Themes: What themes, if any, are threaded throughout the learning experiences in this course?
 Systems analysis, design, development, and implementation for small-scale
enterprises involves the same skills as those required to develop medium- and
large-scale information systems.
 4GL products are appropriate tools for creating information systems.
 Systems development requires communication and cooperation among all the team
members.
 Information systems are described with a variety of modeling tools.
 Systems development cannot succeed without continual interaction with the
user/client.
 Information system development requires careful project management
 There are many ethical questions that confront the systems analyst
Concepts: What concepts do students need to understand to demonstrate course outcomes?






Information system modeling tools (DFD, ERD, OM, USD, etc.).
System development life cycle methodology.
User-friendly GUI design.
System resource requirement identification and acquisition.
Prototyping.
System documentation requirements.
Issues: What primary issues or problems, if any, must students understand to achieve course outcomes (including
such issues as gender, diversity, multi-culturalism, and class)?
Skills: What skills must students master to demonstrate course outcomes?
 Analyze problems and formulate information system solutions that are accurate,
machine efficient, understandable, and changeable.
 Assess, read, and understand the meta-language and electronic documentation
associated with program development environments and 4GL products.
 Design user-friendly information system I/O interfaces.
 Develop complete information system testing procedures.
 Clearly articulate information system functions and procedures in several different
documentation manuals (reference, procedures, training).
 Prioritize and coordinate their work schedule with other project team members in

order to meet team objectives.
 Coordinate their work with that of other team members.
 Independently develop and deliver a class workshop on a related IT topic not
covered in the text.
REPRESENTATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
What will the students be doing (i.e., Listening to lectures, participating in discussions and/or group activities,
attending a field trip, etc.)? Relate the activities directly to the Course Learning Outcomes.
 Read sytems analysis and design conceptual material in the text.
 Follow instructor in-class demonstrations associated with numerous and varied
information system case studies.
 Participate in a semester-long team project to create a modest information system
for a small enterprise.
 Develop computer information system I/O requirements and processing
specifications from a series of loosely described client/user requests.
 Develop several abstract models of the information system.
 Develop several electronic presentations to describe the phases of project
development.
 Develop a detailed set of project documentation binders.
 Independently develop and present a workshop on an IT related subject.
ASSESSMENT TASKS:
How will the student show evidence of achieving the Course Learning Outcomes? Indicate which assessments (if
any) are required for all sections.
Representative assessment tasks:
 Written exams that include objective, short answer, and problem-solving questions.
 Particpation as a team member in a semester-long information system project.
 Homework assignments that require students to independently demonstrate their
understanding of the text material.
 Prepare and deliver a workshop on an approved IT topic not directly addressed in
the text.
