Systems Design

Catalog description

This graduate-level course provides an in-depth discussion of both the theories behind systems design as well as "real world" information about how the systems design process works in a variety of industries. Systems design is a practical field that relies on a core set of concepts and principles, as well as what sometimes seems an eclectic collection of rapidly evolving tools and techniques. Learning systems design requires an appreciation of the tried-and-true techniques plus mastery of new and emerging tools and techniques that recent graduates are increasingly expected to apply on the job.
