Content
The aim of this unit is to develop students' skill and provide training essential for information systems development through the application of methodologies, techniques and professional practices of system analysis. Students will study a set of core and contemporary concepts, principles and development approaches of system analysis. Students will also apply those on real world requirement analysis and system modelling activities by using emerging industry standard Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools and practices. Students will be able to incorporate and apply knowledge, skills and professional practices attained in this unit to substantial real world information system development projects in workplaces. Hands on experience (HOE) achieved in this unit will help students to apply and become an effective system analyst in business organizations. Completion of this unit will also help students to continue further study on advanced units of systems analysis and design.
