Course Description
Upon completion of this course, the student will understand the Systems Development Life Cycle and the Object-Oriented Analysis
methodology using the Unified Modeling Language. An object-oriented approach will be applied to a business system case study utilizing a
Computer Assisted Systems Engineering tool to analyze the system’s requirements. Emphasis will be placed on typical industry practices,
documentation and presentation skills in a team environment.

PLAR Eligible: Yes

Eligible for Supplemental: Yes (See eligibility requirements in the program handbook)
