At Iowa State University
MIS 330 (Undergraduate) “Management Information Systems”
The role of information technology in organization. Overview of methodologies for design and development of systems including decision support systems, expert systems, data bases, end-user computing, etc. Computer applications relate concepts to practice. Lecture and laboratory work emphasizes the enabling role of IT in contemporary organizations
MIS 431x (Senior level) “Object Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET”
Design, writing, debugging and testing of computer programs for business applications, and managerial decision-support. Topics include OO programming and database connectivity.
MIS 433 (Senior level) “Database Management Systems”
Database design, development, and implementation. Focus on data models, both classical and object oriented. Uses relational and/or object oriented database management systems.
MIS 439 (Senior level) “Computer-based Decision Support Systems”
This course explains the characteristics, use, and development of decision support systems (DSS) within the context of other business information systems. The process of designing and implementing decision support systems in business is discussed from both theoretical and practical standpoints. Students will learn various ways of measuring the success of DSS implementation as well as the difficulties associated with all such measures. Students will learn to use common software tools to develop a simple DSS.
MIS 440 (Senior level) “Supply Chain Information Systems”
Technology continues to drive the way companies do business. With the ubiquity of the Internet came e-commerce and online marketing. Now organizations are working to establish c-commerce (collaborative commerce). The challenge faced by management is to remove traditional barriers within and across companies, whether geographical, departmental, personnel, customer, vendor, distributer or business partner with the goal to seamlessly integrate the entire supply chain. This class studies the technologies that organizations are using to create c-commerce systems, the challenges the organizations face, solution methodologies, and current practices.
MIS 531 (Graduate) “Business Software Development”
A survey of business-oriented programming languages with emphasis on design, writing, debugging and testing of computer programs for business transaction processing, and managerial decision-support. Topics include structured programming and file processing.
MIS 539 (Graduate level) “Computer-based Decision Support Systems”
This course explains the characteristics, use, and development of decision support systems (DSS) within the context of other business information systems. The process of designing and implementing decision support systems in business is discussed from both theoretical and practical standpoints. Students will learn to use common software tools to develop a simple DSS.
At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
BIT 4444 (Senior level) Computer-based Decision Support Systems
