3.00 Credits
This course serves as an introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), an essential tool in modern geography, environmental science, urban planning, and various other fields. Students will explore the fundamental principles, techniques, and applications of GIS technology, focusing on its role in spatial data analysis, visualization, and decision-making processes.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the five phases in the systems development life cycle (SDLC): systems planning, systems analysis, system design, system implementation, and systems support and security. This course explains the development of information systems through understanding and specifying in detail what a system should do and how the components of the system should be implemented and work together by gathering detailed information, defining require-ments, prioritizing requirements, developing user-interface dialogs, and evaluating requirements with users. This course is designed to use problem solving techniques that improve the system and ensure that all the components of the system work efficiently to accom-plish their purpose. Students are expected to work on a team during the entire semester.

3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of CIS 351 Systems Analysis, Design, and Implementation I. Throughout this course, students will explore the intricacies of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), encompassing five key phases: systems planning, systems analysis, system design, system implementation, and systems support and security. This course delves into the development of information systems, emphasizing a comprehensive understanding and specification of system functionality. By gathering detailed information, defining requirements, prioritizing them, developing user-interface dialogs, and evaluating requirements with users, students will gain practical insights into system development. The course is structured to employ problem-solving techniques aimed at enhancing system efficiency and ensuring seamless collaboration among system components to achieve their intended purpose. Throughout the semester, students are expected to collaborate within a team, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Prerequisite: CIS 351.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the design, maintenance, and use of databases. Topics include relational modeling, normalization, query languages, and programming APIs for database access. Students will design their own database and write a database-driven application that uses it. The database design and administration is part of the lecture and the database-driven application is done in the lab. Cross listed as CS 256. 3 lecture and 2 laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to data communications in local and wide-area networks. Topics include: thorough coverage of the OSI model, protocols, standards, transmission media, analog and digital signaling, LAN topologies, VLANs, and hardware/software considerations. This course will provide formal meth-odology for problem solving, enhance a student's ability to identify prob-lems, and design solutions.
-
3.00 Credits
A hands-on continuation of the concepts learned in CIS 385 Data Com-munications I. Using Microsoft Active Directory and local area networking domain structure as framework for a more detailed investigation into data communications in local and wide-area networks. Topics include thor-ough coverage of design, implementation, configuration and manage-ment of Windows server, domains, Ad organizations, roles, services, file systems, and security. Also covered LAN topologies, VLANS, subnets, DHCP, NAT, DNS, and routing. This course will provide formal method-ology for problem solving, enhance a student's ability to identify prob-lems, and design solutions. Prerequisite: CIS 385.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the fundamental concepts and principles of cyber-security in the digital age. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the cyber threat landscape, including various attack vector, vulnerabilities, and emerging threats. This course will cover essential cybersecurity practic-es, including network security, cryptography, system administrations, and incident response. Students will also explore legal and ethical considerations in cybersecurity/AI as well as gain insight into various career paths in the field.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the management of information systems in the modern business environment. The course focuses on the definition, develop-ment, and use of appropriate information systems for contemporary busi-ness needs. Systems components, organizational concepts, and man-agement control issues are examined as they apply to operational, tacti-cal, and strategic decisions within the ?rm.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers theory and practice of computer security, focusing in particular on the security aspects of the desktop and Internet. It surveys tools used to provide security, such as security software, intrusion detec-tion and prevention, public key encryption, and disaster recovery. Sys-tem security issues, such as viruses, intrusion, ?rewalls, and others will also be covered.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a forum for a variety of current topics within the information systems discipline. Topics, selected by the CIS department, reflect changing contemporary methodologies, technol-ogies, and research techniques that are not currently covered in other courses.
