IST64540 - Enterprise Systems Analysis and Project Management

(3 units)

This course is designed to provide the students with a thorough understanding of both the role that Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPs) play in an organization and the challenging task of managing the Information Systems (IS) function. Projects utilizing systems provide students with experience in analyzing real-life business scenarios. Students are prepared with the knowledge sought by businesses looking to use technology to maintain their competitive edge in the market place by the end of the course.

In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-world experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor. (International students need to meet their international student advisor for details). The program heavily endorses hands-on and practical training and the program has been designed to be completed with practical training throughout the full program in every academic term.
