This course introduces students to the field of Information Systems Technology and outlines the material covered throughout the entire IS&T Program at Temple. The course addresses the three core issues: 1) Information (the basic science of data encoding, transmission and storage); 2) People (the interactions among technologies, users, institutions, and regulations; and 3) Technology (the design and operation of basic information technology devices). The course will be conducted as lectures and case studies where the students will learn how information flows in organizations, how data is stored and processed and how we can use technology to help people and organizations to perform efficiently. Students will work in teams to analyze scenarios and propose solutions by applying analytic techniques and theories covered in the course. Examples and cases will be drawn from a range of domains including: high tech, medical, business and government. Emphasis will be placed on writing proper reports and presentations.
