Most computer systems are part of a greater information system focused on the needs of an organisation. It is therefore important that an organisation’s processes, needs and objectives are understood by IT professionals allowing appropriate systems to be designed and implemented. This module covers the approaches by which such factors can be investigated, modelled and understood. In this module the systems analysis and design stages of systems development are addressed. It is focused on the early aspects a systems development and covers such topics as: information gathering, system analysis, requirements specifications and systems design. In this module you will develop the capability to analyse an existing transaction processing system using structured methods, to produce requirement specifications and to design appropriate solutions. The following GAME attributes are included in this module: Effective Communications, Collaborative

This module introduces the students to the key ethical and regulatory issues associated with advanced computing and data analytics technologies artificial intelligence, as well as to the methods of analysis of those issues used in ethics and in law. The focus of the module is on the current state of the art in the applications of data analytics and artificial intelligence (in particular: of machine learning), with smaller emphasis on hypothetical future developments. The module makes use of the case study method to introduce students to ethical and regulatory (legal) questions through discussion of relevant major incidents from recent years. The module helps students develop their thinking on how to translate abstract ethical (and regulatory) requirements of fairness, explainability or privacy into engineering and business practice.
