Description:
Provides hands-on experience in systems design and implementation using a prototype
approach. The case study is designed and tested using application development
software. User manuals are written.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Work in teams to define a project plan and perform systems lifecycle (SDLC)
activities. [EXPLORE]
- Prepare and deliver formal written and oral status reports. [COMMUNICATE]
- Create a system design document, including database design, input and output
design, process specifications, and user interface design standards. [COMMUNICATE]
- Apply user-centered design principles to create a prototype of the user
interface design that meets documented requirements; prepare a formal
demonstrate of this prototype. [REASON]
- Develop a database application (prototype) that meets documented data
and process specifications. [REASON]
- Write and implement a test plan for validating system functionality against
requirements. [COMMUNICATE]
- Write a user manual and training plan. [COMMUNICATE]
- Prepare a roll-out and maintenance plan for project implementation. [REASON]
- Perform a structured walk-through and demonstration of a complete working
system. [COMMUNICATE]
- Perform final project wrap-up activities and compile documentation for all
aspects of the systems design, development, and implementation phases of the
SDLC. [EXPLORE]

My Reflection on this Classs:
I enjoyed this class for two reasons. First, I love when two classes work together.
Doing the design and development in this class for my CIS 243 class project worked so
nicely! Second, I felt truly satisfied and proud of myself to use all of my new
knowledge over the last year to piece together a complete design and development
package.
