    This course places students in an experiential learning environment which provides participants the opportunity to 'experience' their learning, rather than simply being told what they are to learn. Students participate in a wide variety of group exercises designed to emphasize various professional leadership competencies and insights. These events, which range from physically challenging to mentally stimulating, are held both inside the classroom and in outdoor settings. The instructor acts as a facilitator, helps guide student processing through after action reviews of the events to facilitate student understanding of leadership principles, group dynamics, and problem solving methods. In addition to military skills, practical 'life skills' are emphasized. Lessons are designed to maximize student participation, inspire intellectual curiosity and introspection, as well as group interaction. 1.000 Credit hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture School of Education Instruct Department Course Attributes: Lower Division

    This course examines the processes and tools used to develop and administer database systems in business. Database systems used to support both transaction processing and decision making in organizations are studied. The conceptual, logical, and physical designs studied in Database Systems I serve as the blueprints for the database systems developed in Database Systems II. A class project involving the development of a database using a client/server database management system is performed. Topics include database development, client/server databases, concurrency control, database security, administration of database privileges, complex data retrieval commands, and database programming. Students will be prepared to pass professional database certification exams. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in this course the semester after Database Systems I is completed. Students who do not immediately enroll in Database Systems II should review the material on conceptual database design, logical database design, and physical database design from Database Systems I before the first day of class. All students should plan to spend a minimum of three hours per week working in on-campus computer labs.

    This course provides a foundation in systems analysis and design concepts, methodologies, techniques, and tools. Students will learn to analyze an organizational problem, define user requirements, design an information system, and plan an implementation. Methodologies covered will include the traditional life cycle approach as well as newer methodologies such as object-oriented approach, joint applications development (JAD), and prototyping. A semester-long project gives students the opportunity to apply these techniques to a business problem. This project will use technologies such as a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool, a database management system (DBMS), or a fourth-generation language.
