    This course provides the student with a view of hardware/software configurations as integrated systems, giving students a basic understanding of what an operating system is and how it works. In addition, fundamental concepts and constraints of computer architecture are presented. Compilation and execution concepts are examined in detail. Specific examples of single-user and multi-user operating systems (such as MS-DOS and Windows, Windows NT, UNIX, and IBM mainframe operating systems) are used to illustrate the range of tasks that an operating system accomplishes. The approach taken is the system designer's and the system administrator's views of the hardware together with the operating system software. Prerequisite: INFS2110, INFS2120, INFS2130, INFS2140, INFS2150, INFS2184, INFS2151 or MATH2070

    This course provides an integrated view of using IBM zEnterprise systems to prepare students to take the IBM System Z Mastery test. An overview for zEnterprise hardware concepts, z/OS operating system concepts, and interactive facilities, such as TSO/E, ISPF and UNIX will be presented. The roles of virtual and physical storage, LPARs, Parallel Sysplex, z/VM, and cluster technologies to provide scalability and continuous availability within zEnterprise systems are discussed. Students will be provided hands-on experiences using z/FS data sets, ISPF, SDSF, JCL, and JES3. A batch COBOL application will be edited, compiled, linked, and executed and debugged. CICS applications, WebSphere (J2EE) applications, and WebSphere MQ services will be compared as alternatives to zEnterprise interfaces, middleware and OLTP transactional services. An overview of system programming and SMP/E, zEnterprise database management systems, clients and utilities, e.g., DB2, IMS, SPUFI, QMF, z/OS HTTP web server, VTAM, TCP/IP, and RACF (IBM Security Server) will be introduced. Access to a zEnterprise system, hands-on exercises, and online support materials are important components of this course. Prerequisite: One from INFS2120, INFS2130, INFS2140, INFS2150, INFS2151 or INFS2184
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course provides the student with theory and practice associated with the analysis and design of computer-based information systems. Fundamental topics include systems theory, the role of the information system in operating and managing the organization, and systems design concepts. The purpose, function, and expected outcomes of each phase and activity of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) are discussed from theoretical and practical perspectives. Specific design techniques, such as data flow diagrams and data dictionaries, are discussed and used. Other topics include the function of design tools such as CASE, planning techniques, and project management. Case studies are used to supplement lectures, with hands-on experiences in applying the SDLC to the analysis and design of information systems. Prerequisites: INFS2110, INFS2120, INFS2130, INFS2140, INFS2184, INFS2150, INFS2151 or MATH2070 and COSK2220 or COSK2225
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course builds on the fundamental systems design concepts and skills presented in CI360 Systems Analysis and Design, enabling students to develop advanced analysis and design requirements related to information systems. Case studies focus on analysis and design concepts in situations that utilize transaction processing systems, management information systems, and decision support systems. Computer-Assisted Systems Engineering (CASE) tools are integrated into class projects. Other topics include prototyping and alternatives to the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), cost/benefit analysis, planning and managing systems development projects, and applying system design techniques to end-user computing. Prerequisite: INFS3220
  • 3.00 Credits

    Introduction to Information Technology Security Control Systems utilizes the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) taxonomy to provide the student with an integrated theoretical and practical perspective of technology and information systems security and control. While the course has a focus on the requirements of a formal technologically-based information technology security system, emphasis is on the seven cognitive domain areas as specified in the ISACA Model Curriculum which includes: (1 Information Systems Security Assessment, (2) Information Systems Security Management, Planning, and Organization, (3)Information Systems Security Technical Infrastructure and Operations, (4) Protection of Information System Assets, (5) Testing Information Technology Controls and Implementing Anti-fraud Technology Using a Computer-aided Auditing Tool (CAAT), (6) Information Systems Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity, (7) Information Systems Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance, and (8) Information Systems Security Risk Management. As an underlying tenet, the course emphasizes refining individual communications skills necessary to the field of information systems security. Prerequisite: INFS3220
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course utilizes the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) taxonomy to provide the student with an integrated theoretical and practical perspective of technology and information systems governance, control, and assurance. Emphasis is on the key control mechanisms that support the achievement of control objectives as well as the prevention, detection, and correction of undesired events through responsible uses of resources, appropriate management of risk, and the alignment of information technology with the organization. As an underlying tenet, the course emphasizes refining individual communications skills necessary to the field of information systems governance, control, and assurance. Prerequisites: INFS3222 and 96 credits

    This course provides the student with terminology and concepts related to data communications. Modes of data transmission and transmission media are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the integration of electronic principles with systems analysis and design for computer networks. The role of telecommunications in systems design for networking and distributed processing is presented, along with the architecture of data communication systems ranging from local area networks to international wide area networks. Also discussed are common data communication error detection and correction techniques, available communications software, common carrier services, and prevailing relative costs for those services. Prerequisites: INFS3210 or INFS3211

    This practical "hands-on" course is aimed at those students that have passed A+ Certification or have equivalent knowledge. On course completion, students should be able to: install and configure a network card; define the concepts of network layers; understand principles of extending networks and interconnectivity; understand and implement the TCP/IP protocol; use test equipment to troubleshoot network connectivity. Part of the content is similar to Microsoft's "Networking Essentials" exam. The course has been developed to produce competent network support technicians that are capable of taking and passing the new Network+ certification exam. Prerequisite: INFS3211 or INFS3210
