TEM 540 - Information Systems

Students learn some elementary systems analysis principles, and investigate the structure and operations of large, complex modern computer networks. Students survey the major systems used for decision making and data management in international logistics and engineering oriented concerns, and obtain a working knowledge of the functions and data required for each, and how the pieces fit together into a strategy for getting the right information to the right decision maker at the right time. Special emphasis placed on systems particularly important in transportation, logistics, and maritime related firms, and those important in supply chain command and control. Students also learn how to participate in or lead a system design and implementation project.
