Information Technologies for Homeland Security Program Assessment Plan 5/3/2011

Transcription

1 Last Revised 5/3/2011 Catalog Description The Computer Information Systems (CIS) Associate Degree program is designed to provide a solid foundation in the fundamental skills that are generally required to analyze system requirements and design solutions or, to support and manage the application of technology resources. These basic skills are routinely required by many different industries and higher-level educational programs. Four degree options of Systems Analysis, Computer Support, Homeland Security, or Software Engineering are available. Each option begins with core courses of information system fundamentals, database systems, networking, web systems, and software development. Additional courses are chosen in one area of specialization to complete the option requirements. Current computer tools and an emphasis on practical application provide a relevant learning environment. Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Page 1 of 5

2 Students will illustrate problem solving skills through the use of computer system analysis and design techniques A 80% of the students will illustrate problem solving skills through the use of computer system analysis and design techniques at >=70% competency following the CIS criteria. (CIS 2111) Students will perform project assignment tasks that require use of system analysis and design techniques to explain how good system architechture and software design will improve information assurance and computer security. 12/1/2012 Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Page 2 of 5
