SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTPRE-REQUISITE: NONE
1.0 SYNOPSIS
This is one of the core courses for students in Information
Technologyundergraduate programme. The emphasis is on understanding
systemdevelopment processes, tools used and expectation or scenario
of systemdevelopment. Students are introduced to the basic
activities and processes ofsystem development. The methodologies
for system development; Structuredand Object-Oriented methodologies
are discussed. Several analysis techniquesand tools are introduced
to help students prepare a system development projectproposal.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
Upon completion of the course, students are expected to
2.1 understand system development process or activities.2.2
understand the methodologies used for system development.2.3
acquire knowledge and skills necessary to use techniques and
analysis
tools in system development.2.4 know how to develop a system
development project proposal.
3.0 LEARNING OUTCOME
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to
3.1 describe system development process or activities discussed
in thiscourse. (C1, P1, A2)
3.2 explain the techniques and analysis tools used in
StructuredMethodologies. (C2, P2, A3)
3.3 explain the techniques and analysis tools used in
Object-OrientedMethodologies.
(C2, P2, A3)3.4 apply appropriate methodologies, techniques and
analysis tools in system
development. (C3, P1, A2)3.5 apply appropriate practices to
prepare a system development project
proposal. (C3, P1, A2)
