Systems Analysis and Design

Abstract

This is the course outline for Capital Community College’s System Analysis and Design. This course is structured on the system development life cycle. Students will consider the nature of systems and will work on projects based on gathering data, and determining feasibility. Other projects will involve creating documentation and tools for data flows and structures, data dictionaries, file design, input and output design, prototyping and software engineering. Topics include analyzing the business case, requirements modeling, data and process modeling, and development strategies. Students also learn about output and user interface design, data design, systems architecture and implementation, and systems operation, support and security.
