Course Name:

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 1

Course Description:

The
second
of
the
Project-Based
Learning (PBL) series, this is the subsequent
course to its prerequisite following the
acceptance of the proposed academic clients
information system development project with
the conceptual design submitted by the
students grouped in teams at the onset of
the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
The course discusses how information will be
gathered, analyzed and designed to do data
entry, storage, access, and updating for
purposes of monitoring and reporting to its
target user recipients. With the prevailing live
case study, students are obliged to exploit
their
analytical
thinking
ability
in
understanding the efforts involved in pursuing
a
thorough
computer-based
information
system for an organization with the end
goal of enhancing efficiency in the clients
workplace. It provides a structured approach
in learning how data are to be managed with
specific outputs and explains the various
diagrams and charts used for programming
and documentation.

Course credit:

Three (3) units

Course Prerequisite:

INTSDEV

Course Objectives: The course aims to provide an atmosphere of

professionalism
and teamwork in working
within the Systems Development Life Cycle
environment.

FOR IT:
IT04:
Identify,
analyze
and
understand needs of customers and
audience and the intent and spirit
of their requirements and take them
into account in the selection,
creation,
evaluation
and
administration of computer-based
systems
in order to respond
appropriately in verbal and nonverbal forms.
IT05:
Design,
implement,
and
evaluate computer-based systems,
processes, components, or programs,
with creativity and innovation, to
meet desired needs and requirements
under various constraints, with
appropriate considerations to ethical,
cultural and environmental factors.
IT08: Function effectively as a
member
or
leader
of
diverse
development
teams,
and
in
multidisciplinary
settings,
recognizing

C2: Extract user requirements,

translate these to formal models,
and present these using UMLbased visualizations.
C3: Design an over-all
architecture of the system, and
justify its appropriateness.
C4: Translate program designs
and specifications into actual
program codes.

FOR CS:
CS01: Apply knowledge of computing
fundamentals,
knowledge
of
a
computing
specialization,
and
mathematics, science, and domain
knowledge
appropriate
for
the
computing specialization to the
abstraction and conceptualization of
computing models from defined
problems and requirements.
CS02: Identify, analyze, formulate,
research
literature,
and
solve
complex computing problems and
requirements reaching substantiated
conclusions
using
fundamental
principles of mathematics, computing
sciences,
and
relevant
domain
disciplines.
CS03:
An
ability
to
apply
mathematical
foundations,
algorithmic principles and computer
science theory in the modeling and
design of computer-based systems in
a
way
that
demonstrates
comprehension of the tradeoffs
involved in design choices.
