The previous courses have provided the IS students with strong and sufficient knowledge to develop information systems. The next logical stage is that the IS student must acquire hands-on experiences on developing real world information systems. In addition, the students should be familiarized with real world problems encounter during the development of real world information systems. Furthermore, the students should be trained to work in teams. In this course, the students will be organized into groups. The number of students in each group should not exceed three students.
A survey of the theoretical and technical aspects of some topic to be agreed Upon with the student’s advisor. An oral presentation and a written report are required.
In this course, each group will continue developing the information systems that started in IS 498. Groups must use particular tools to implement their information systems in a good programming practice. These implementation tools must be new, up to date, and fully approved in IS design and implementation environment. Furthermore, students must generate user manuals for their information systems in an appropriate format.
