INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN Course Description: An examination of the concepts and practical aspects of database management systems and how data resources can be designed and managed to support information systems in organizations. Topics include data models and data and storage structures and their relation to data access; use and management of database systems, data independence; and data sharing, availability, security, integrity and consistency. Students are required to design and implement a database using a relational database management system, such as SQL. Three hours lecture, one hour laboratory. Three credits. This course has an additional fee. Offered every Fall. Course Rationale/Course Overview: This course is designed for both Computer Science graduate students and MBA students in Management Information Systems (MIS) concentration. Topics covered in this course include four major parts. Part I - Introduction and Fundamentals: Relational Database Management Systems. Part II - Entity Relationship (E-R) Modeling. Part III - the Structured Query Language SQL in Oracle and Microsoft Access. PART IV - Normalization techniques. Students are expected to exercise an ER Assist Tool to be familiar with the E-R Modeling technique and to complete a hand-on project using SQL in Oracle Relational Database Management System Environment. Prerequisites: It is assumed that students have some Computer Concepts such as CS 601 and CS 605. Course Learning Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide graduate students an overview of Database Management Systems techniques. In particular, the Database techniques will be focused in Relational Database Management Systems, Developments and Applications. Student Learning Goals: (O.1) Students will have a solid background in Relational Database Management Systems for both academic study and professional developments areas. (O.2) Students will be able to analyze business requirements and apply Entity Relationship (E- R) Modeling techniques to develop database applications.

3 (O.3) Students are expected to exercise an ER Assist Tool to be familiar with the E-R Modeling techniques. (O.4.) Students will be familiar with SQL Schema Definition, Constraints, Queries and Views in both Oracle and Microsoft Access. (O.5) Students will develop a hand-on project using SQL hand-on project using SQL in Oracle Relational Database Management System Environment. (O.6.) Students will be familiar with Database Normalization techniques and apply Database Normal Forms into Practical Database Design. V. PROGRAM LEVEL ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING Program Learning Objectives Assessment Vehicles Direct Assessment Measures Goal 1: Master the core foundations of computer science. An evaluation of Database Project in CS649 will be chosen as a direct measure of this learning objective. Grading rubric for the project assessing the analysis. Student learning objective 1.2: Students will understand the mathematical and logical foundations of computing (1) This activity is using an ER Assist Tool to draw the ER Diagram for a Database Application and to create the database tables in Oracle 11i Express Database Management System (DBMS) Environment for the Database Application Developments. Goal 3: Students will be able to apply networking and database concepts to information technology (2) Students then need to populate the database records using SQL insert statements. (3) Then students should complete and implement the SQL Queries for the given problems. Same as above. Grading rubric for the project assessing the analysis.
