Instructor: Mr. Moran

 


The Computer Information Systems program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to support the design and development of software applications.  This program is designed to provide the capacity to prepare and interpret process and data models, develop and structure software components and to validate the functionality, usability and reliability of those components.  Validation skills include testing and debugging.  System, component and user documentation is to be performed throughout the process.  This program will provide students with the ability to integrate new and existing components.  Students will receive instruction in at least two programming languages including at least one procedure-oriented language and one object and visually oriented language.  This course provides a thorough practical knowledge of the concepts, theories, logic and critical thinking skills required when building software applications.  Students completing the program will possess a basic technical foundation needed to pursue post-secondary degrees leading to a career as a software developer, analyst project leader or in the management of information technologies.  Students may prefer to immediately enter the labor market in an entry-level position as developer or analyst.
