The courses you may be interested in taking will
depend on your area of interest; however, the following
list intends to provide you with some general information
about available courses at Katz and their contents.
BMIS 2589 - System Analysis and Design
Whether part of a strategic initiative or an
operational development effort, information technology
only becomes a valuable asset when it is implemented
effectively. Business systems must be designed
and deployed to meet real business needs, satisfy
budgetary and schedule constraints, and make
effective use of information technology, all
while taking into account the existing processes,
structures, and people. Accomplishing successful
systems development projects require a wide range
of technical, communication, and managerial skills.
The goal of this course is to develop students'
knowledge of structured analysis and design techniques,
such as data and process modeling, client communication
skills, and project management expertise. While
the course materials highlight business systems
analysis and design, the principles and techniques
considered are applicable to a wide range of
business implementation projects.
Prerequisite: BMIS 2588 (may take concurrently) or permission
of instructor.
BMIS 2578 - Commerce
on the Information Highway
Advances in communication
technologies continuously
provide new opportunities for organizations
of all kinds. These opportunities ranges from
marketing
products and services in a new way, launching
an entirely new business, providing greater
level of customer support, enabling substantial
savings
in the costs of internal communications,
and otherwise providing competitive advantage.
The course is presented from two points of
view:
- how to create world-wide web applications,
and
- what are the strategic options faced
by organizations planning their level of
deployment if internet,
intranet, and extranet technologies.
Prerequisites:
BMIS 2411- Information Systems or permission
of instructor.
BMIS 2569 - Object-Oriented
Business Programming and Design
This course introduces students to the fundamentals
of object-oriented software construction, with
an emphasis on the development of the broad perspective
that IT managers require. Programming topics
emphasize the fundamentals of class/object building—including
constructors, access control, information hiding,
encapsulation, and inheritance. Windows programming
topics include the use of single and multiple
document interfaces, dialog boxes, and the use
of Integrated Development Environments. A modern
and widely supported programming language such
as C++ will be used. The design portion of the
course examines the use of OO principles in designing
software using the Universal Modeling Language
(UML) and addresses such topics as Use-Case,
Sequence & Collaboration Diagramming, and
State-Transition.
Prerequisites: BMIS 2582 -
Structured Business Programming.
BMIS
2536 - Enterprise-wide Computing Solutions
Today's advanced information technology has
the capability to enable and
transform business
processes.
For example, enterprise-wide
application software such as SAP/R3 or Oracle
Financial allows organizations
to link disparate business units
along the supply chain with shared
and integrated
information.
Moreover, today's organizations
are increasingly expected to operate
globally. Advanced
information technology often
becomes
the basis for the
development
of global IT solutions, which
can dramatically impact a firm's ability
to define and
support global business processes.
This course
has several purposes:
- to examine
the business drivers for domestic enterprise-wide
applications and for
global IT solutions.
- to
overview the IT solutions themselves.
- to
consider the implementation strategies for
enterprise-wide
applications
and global IT
solutions.
Prerequisites: BMIS
2521/2522- Systems Analysis and Design
or permission
of instructor.
BMIS 2584 -
Managing Software Design
Managing Software
Design is a two-part
course sequence
that focuses on the management
of projects that have been
described in the literature
as "programming-in
the large". It is
expected that all students
in this course
will have had some course
work in programming. This
course
will expose students
to the tools and techniques
used on commercial systems,
and will present the development
experience
foundations of the area,
cognitive models of users,
software state
of the art in how best
to manage these projects.
The course sequence will
emphasize
two themes:
- measurement
tools for organizational
change, and
- strategies
for managing risk and organizational
change.
This course
is intended for
students who anticipate
careers with significant
information technology
interaction.
Prerequisites: BMIS 2521/2522- Systems Analysis
and Design or significant commercial information
systems development experience or permission
of instructor.
BQOM 2574/2575 - Data Mining I and II
Data Mining,
the process of extracting managerially useful
knowledge from a set of data, involves applying
techniques from statistics and artificial intelligence/expert
systems to multivariate numerical and categorical
information. Data mining is used extensively
in marketing, for analysis of scanner and consumer
data from traditional transactions and over
the web, and in finance. In this course, we will
discuss methods and software for several of
the
more popular approaches (discriminant analysis,
logistic regression, clustering, neutral nets,
tree/rule induction, case-based reasoning).
The first part of the course if primarily lecture
and homework oriented. In the second half,
you'll
do individual or group projects on real data
sets and presents your results.
Prerequisites:
BQOM 2401, BQOM 2574. |
