Systems Analysis & Design
MODULE: Systems Analysis & Design
Program delivered by distance learning higher education up to a maximum of 30 credits. This module may be combined or completed with other online university courses from this faculty.
DESCRIPTION:
A systems analyst shall be responsible for studying (analyzing) the information problems and needs of an organization and determining how people, methods, and computer technology can best accomplish improvements. The analyst shall design a system that will provide for the efficient capture of data from its business source, the flow of that data to the computer, the processing and storage of that data by the computer, and the flow of useful and timely information back to business users. This program deals with all the relevant issues to complete a sound system analysis and design.

* Expert Diploma (21 credits): First 7 subjects or select 7 subjects from this module.
* Bachelor's Degree (130 credits): The Admission certificate issued after submission of the application for admission will show the amount of credit transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete this undergraduate program's major. Additional courses from other modules of this faculty will be assigned in case that the credits displayed on this module are not enough to complete the bachelor's required credits.
* Master's Degree (35 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 13 credits corresponding to a final project to the selected subjects.
* Ph.D. (Doctor) (45 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 18 credits corresponding to a final thesis to the selected subjects.
BIU issues an admission certificate after receiving your complete application for admission. This document will show the amount of credits transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete the degree program's major. BIU can not perform this evaluation without the complete application for admission.
Courses Description (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
Computer Systems
This course examines computer systems organization, performance evaluation of computer systems, instruction set design, computer arithmetic, interfacing processors and peripherals. It also considers the performance analysis of multiprocessor architectures and simulation techniques of computer systems.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Telecommunication Systems
This course concentrates on the analysis and verification of telecommunication systems and protocols. It begins with analog communication systems such AM and FM, followed by digital communications. In addition, it studies the effects of different transmission technologies on telecommunications.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Systems Development Life Cycle
This course explores the five processes make up the systems development life cycle: Systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems support. It examines the primary activities of the systems analyst and the use of the various tools in the creation of better systems.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Systems Analysis & Design
This course studies the systems development cycle for best planning, feasibility of the project, staffing, and scheduling. It is the study of a current business system and its problems, the definition of business needs and requirements, and the evaluation of alternative solutions. It shows how a company organizes itself to use data processing equipment more effectively.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Systems Implementation
This course deals with the general and detailed specification of a computer based solution that was selected during systems analysis. Included in the design specifications are the programming specifications. Systems implementation is placing the system into operation and how to use systems tools in each phase of the systems development cycle.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Innovation Management
This course studies the methods for transforming organizations to create innovation. It covers diagnosis of opportunities for innovation and development, intervention activities and implementation strategies. It examines problems and issues in integrating technology and innovation into processes and products, management of research and development (R&D); and new product and/or process development according to customer needs.
Instructor: Earle Taylor
Network Systems Management
This course will give students the skills and knowledge to management a network system using the following task: integrate diverse network clients, design an internetwork using TCP/IP protocol, change a LAN to an intranet, centrally distribute software upgrades to servers and clients and prepare for emerging technology capabilities.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Software Systems Integration
This course deals with solutions for the integration of software and hardware. It reviews integrated engineering of hardware-software systems considering software design, testing, documentation, maintenance, debugging, version control, software portability and reusability.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Dynamic Systems Analysis
This course examines dynamic models of continuous systems, transfer functions and block diagrams. It considers the system response characteristics and diverse systems performance specifications.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Process Improvement Management
This course focuses on technical and teaming skills necessary to be an advocate for quality in a process. Topics include: understanding quality, the improvement cycle, quality tools, eliminating complexity from work, and implementing quality in processes, activities and organizations. It also covers statistical process control and methods employed in the assurance of product conformance to quality specifications. It provides an analytical approach to solving problems in quality engineering process design and costs.
