Course Objective:
Systems analysis and design plays the key role of developing information systems in modern organizations. This course provides students the concepts, principles, and methods of systems analysis and design for business information systems. Students will learn about how computerized information systems are developed and implemented in organizations. Topics include system development life cycle, project management, requirement analysis, data modeling, feasibility analysis, prototyping, and user interfacing. In addition to the traditional structured approach to SA/SD, the well-known object-oriented approach, UML, will also be covered.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course the student will be able to:
l Understand how organizational information systems are developed using a variety of methods and approaches.
l Gain practical experience about developing a working prototype of information systems.

Group Project Requirements:
Completing a group project is the key component of this course. Each student is asked to join a small group. The details of the project requirement in different phases will be announced when the course progresses. The project is composed of a report and presentation. When turning in the report, each group member has to complete a peer evaluation form for indicating the part with the level he/her contributes to. The team member will be graded in part based on the peer evaluation.
