IT 285 - Systems Analysis & Design

Description:IT 285 is an intermediate-level course that introduces the student to a practical approach to information technology and systems development. Students will learn how to use the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model to translate business requirements into information systems that support a company's short-and long-term objectives. Real-world case studies and assignments teach analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making techniques, which in turn develop critical thinking skills. Systems Analysis & Design is the capstone course for the IT programs and will introduce such topics as needs analysis, strategic planning, feasibility studies, requirements modeling, enterprise modeling, data design, user interfaces, input and output design, systems architectures, systems implementation, project management, and CASE tools.
