30/11/2017 - Unit disestablished at FEC 5/17 Item 7.3.
This is a core second year unit for the Information Systems major in the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems (BITS). It requires students to have developed a sound basic knowledge of IT through the first year common core units. It also requires students to study FIT2001 as a co-requisite unit, in order to ensure that they have exposure to some specific techniques in analysis and design to provide a focus for the general conceptual issues it addresses. The unit has no direct links to later units, but provides a conceptual problem-solving framework within which students can learn and reflect on the various aspects of systems development taught throughout the IS major.
It aims to provide students with a broad knowledge and understanding of information systems development as a problem-solving activity. This will act as an important contextual basis within which to learn, understand and critically evaluate analysis and design techniques used in information systems development.
All students undertaking the Information Systems major in the BITS need an understanding of the phases of the systems development process as problem-solving activities. This unit will provide an important contextual framework in which to place their understanding of material covered in other units about the use of technology and systems in organisations and the use of specific IS development techniques.
At the completion of this unit students will have -
A theoretical and conceptual understanding of:
Developed attitudes that enable them to:
Developed the skills to:
Demonstrated the communication skills necessary to:
020399
This unit will examine the process of information system development and the key tasks in systems analysis and design from a problem-solving perspective. It will identify the key overall features which are common to all system development approaches and analytical and design techniques as problem-solving activities. From this foundation, it will examine, compare and contrast specific development approaches and analysis and design methods/techniques in the context of these problem-solving requirements.
