ITEC 610 Information Technology Foundations (3)
A fundamental study of technology and its applications, as well as the economic and social issues they have raised. Topics include computers, peripherals, databases, and networks; operations (of business, government, and other enterprises), decision-support systems, and acquisition of information technology resources; and information security, productivity, equitable access by users, intellectual property rights, and global reach. Discussion also covers current and future developments in the field and their implications.
ITEC 620 Information Technology Infrastructure (3)
An introduction to the broad variety in information technology infrastructure from the perspectives of systems architecture, data communications, and networks. Topics include enterprise information infrastructure, multinational enterprise, servers and Web services, layered network architecture, convergence and Internet protocols, global WAN services, enterprise network design, wireless technologies, network security, network management, server architectures, storage management and networks, and content management networks.
ITEC 630 Information Systems Analysis, Modeling, and Design (3) (Formerly CSMN 635.)
A study of systems analysis and design, using selected engineering and management science techniques and practices. Topics include requirements determination, modeling, decision making, and proposal development. The system development life cycle model, including system implementation and post-implementation activities, is examined. Emphasis is on the specification of the information system’s logical and physical analysis and design from a management perspective. Research and project assignments related to information systems analysis, design, implementation, and/or project planning and control require individual and group work.
ITEC 640 Information Technology Project Management (3)
An examination of the fundamental principles and practice of managing programs and projects in an information processing and high-tech environment. The dynamic nature of information technology (IT) and the effect of life cycles are explored. The fundamental building blocks of high-tech management styles (including project planning, organizational structure, team building, and effective control mechanisms) are addressed. Discussion covers the effect of product and project life cycles in delivering a successful IT project, considering the obsolescence factors in procurement/stakeholder contracts. The goal is to gain a solid foundation to successfully manage each phase of the project life cycle, work within organizational and cost constraints, set goals linked directly to stakeholder needs, and utilize proven management tools to execute a dynamic project on time and within budget. Emphasis is on how to apply the essential concepts, processes, and techniques in the management of large-scale governmental or commercial programs.
