Number of Students
This course introduces students to the design, development, and management of Information Systems (IS) that support organizational operations and decision-making. Students will learn to integrate people, processes, and technology into cohesive systems that deliver value to both businesses and society.
The course covers the fundamental components of MIS, the dynamics of digital markets and strategies, and the principles of information processing and applications. Practical skills are developed through hands-on work in information flow mapping, UI/UX design, database development, and the creation of functional prototypes. Students will also explore the possibilities of innovation applications, leveraging emerging technologies to build systems that address real-world challenges.
Throughout the semester, students will work in teams to design, develop, and present a functional prototype of an information system that solves a business or community problem. Each week’s learning activities will build progressively toward the final project, ensuring students gain both the technical skills and strategic perspective needed for an effective, user-centered system.
能力項目說明
This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to develop and implement complete MIS. Students will learn to integrate business strategy, user needs, data management, and technology into a cohesive, functional system.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
These outcomes are achieved through progressive, project-based learning, where each stage of the course contributes to building a user-centered information system prototype from concept to completion.
