ITEC 8040 - Systems Analysis and Design* (3 semester credits)

3 semester credits

Students in this course examine the role a systems analyst plays in developing large-scale software systems and explore the phases of the software development life cycle. A systems analyst is responsible for designing the new system, ensuring the new system will meet the organization's needs, and ensuring that the correct staffing is available to create the new system. A systems analyst must also be able to resolve conflicts of interests. In this course, students focus on the definition of system requirements, both functional and nonfunctional, for an information system (IS). Students also investigate how to model requirements, data, and processes to meet business needs.
