The objective of this course is to provide students a theoretic foundation and technique of system analysis and design. To understand the importance of system analysis, information system concepts and techniques for data collection will be introduced prior to covering analysis and modelling tools. Discussion of process specifications and structured decisions, cost/benefits analysis and preparation of system proposal will be covered. Lastly, a variety of development tools will be introduced. Upon completion, students should be able to analyse and design different real systems.

CILO-1: Describe the phases of system development life cycle and system development methodologies. CILO-2: Use Data Flow Diagrams to show the movement of system data and demonstrate how system data are analyzed. CILO-3: Identify various process specifications and structured decisions required to demonstrate system logic. CILO-4: Learn project management skills and prepare costs/benefits analysis statements before a best alternative is selected. CILO-5: Students are expected to analyze and design real information systems.
