Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to design, implementation and evaluation that holds the key to the successful development of complex human-made systems. This course explores a framework encapsulating the entire systems engineering discipline, clearly showing where the multitude of associated activities fits within the overall effort and how the activities relate to one another.
Hello BIT II Students, University of Rwanda, Department of Business Information Technology.
As the Module Leader, I would like to welcome you all to this module which will run in the 1st Trimester of the Academic Year 2019-2020.
A database system is a major component for enabling the achievement of these needs. The course intends to provide the principles, knowledge, understanding, and skills needed by a computing professional to positively contribute to the success of running a business and enabling it to achieve its mission and objectives. The main aims of this course are to introduce students to the requisite theory and practice of database technology and the applications of the technology in generic and specific domains.
Successful completion of this module will enhance the student's ability to:
- Give an appreciation of the role of methodologies in designing and implementing information systems, and to consider and compare different methodologies.
- Learn and apply methodologies for conceptual, logical and physical database design.
- Acquire skills in solving business problems using the fundamentals of database modeling, enterprise analysis, and design.
- Provide knowledge of the modeling techniques required to construct fully validated systems and to enable the student to apply these techniques.
- Introduce implementation and management issues as well as database programming languages and standards using various database management.
In summary, having successfully completed the module, students should be able to:
- Understand about the relational database systems
- Querying the databases
- Management of databases
Both theoretical concepts and practical sessions using MS Access and MySQL as the DBMS software will be covered in this module.
Once again, welcome to this module of Database Technology.
