Structured Analysis and Design

Introduces the system and design process using information systems methodologies and techniques to analyze business activities and solve problems. Learn to identify, define and document business problems and then develop information system models to solve them.

Introduction to Database

Introduces concepts and methods fundamental to database development and use including data analysis and modeling, as well as structured query language (SQL). Explore basic functions and features of a database management system (DBMS), with emphasis on the relational model.

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Explore techniques, tools and methods used in the object-oriented approach to developing applications. Learn how to model and design system requirements using tools such as Unified Modeling Language (UML), use cases and scenarios, class diagrams and sequence diagrams.

Senior Project

Working in teams, students apply knowledge and mastered skills, including problem-solving techniques and project-management method, to an applications-oriented project. The project provides real-world experience by integrating systems analysis, programming, testing, debugging, documentation and user interfacing techniques.

Programming Multimedia for the Web

Use multimedia authoring tools and techniques to create web based games and dynamic web pages. Integrating and controlling multimedia assets such as movie clips, sound effects, images and animations are addressed.

The Trivia Game

Game Development

Introduces basics of game design and development. Using object-oriented game engine with libraries, apply game design principles to develop example games. Technical considerations and industry best practices are also covered.
