SEEM3430 Information Systems Analysis and Design

Course Code and Name: SEEM3430 Information Systems Analysis and Design
Course Objectives: Information system development life cycle; user requirement analysis; feasibility study; cost/benefit analysis; systems analysis tools such as data flow diagrams and process specification tools. Real time systems analysis. Transformation from analysis to design. Structured chart. System design quality heuristics such as coupling and cohesion. System design packaging and design optimization: CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) Tools.

Course Outcome(s) is/are measurable or not: Yes / Yes (Partial) / No (Please choose). If Yes, please suggest ways to measure: (P1) Students in a team of 4 are involved in a system analysis and design project, which contributes to 30% of the overall score. (P3) The projects involved the logical design of a real world problem, namely a credit card system of a bank. (P5) The first and second phases of the project involve project planning and requirement specification respectively. They account for 60% of the project. (P7) It is a group project. Students meet regularly for discussion. Also a final report has to be submitted. The report accounts for 10% of the project. (P8) The third phase of the project involves system analysis and design based on the constraints of the target application. This phase accounts for 30% of the project.
