41195 Information Systems Capstone

Description

An information system is a formal organisational system designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information. These systems are composed of five components: hardware, software, data, people, and process. The subject considers a wider perspective in understanding information systems by drawing on socio-technical theories. In other words, it considers the first three components as the technology category, while the other two, people and process, emphasise the role of social context in an organisation. This subject exposes students to real-world problems where they could understand how all of these components work together to bring value to an organization and society. In this subject, students choose a real-world project of interest and, with the help of a staff mentor and an industry client when possible, research, plan, and produce an outcome. They communicate the results of the project in a detailed report.
