Postgraduate

This subject contributes to the understanding of information technology and its relevance for successful engineering practice and management. On completion of this subject, students should understand:

  • what information system resources are available to managers for decision support
  • how to get involved with planning, development and implementation of information systems, and
  • how information technology can be used to improve organisational performance.
The subject has been designed with the aim of providing a platform for an online learning experience. From the start, students are required to form project teams and work independently with minimum face-to-face contact or supervision. This subject encourages students to be creative and independent from the traditional form of study and actively contribute to subject delivery by participating in group work. Furthermore, it changes the instructor's role from lecturer to facilitator. This subject consists of online group discussions, peer assessments, freedom in selection of topics and learning sources, and group and individual assignments. Communication and subject-relevant information are made available through UTSOnline. Regular visits to the subject webpages on UTSOnline are highly recommended.
