with the phases of software development
and some associated methodologies that may
be encountered within their field. Prerequisites:
CIS 5100.
CIS 5520 KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMA-
TION REPRESENTATION (3 credits). Covers
many of the modern data, information and
knowledge representations to give the CIS
professional formats, methods and mechanisms
for representing, understanding and using datadriven
systems that may or may not have a database
component. (Requirement: Prerequisite
course or instructor approval.) Prerequisites:
CIS 5100 or CIS 5500.
CIS 5530 SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION (3
credits). Explores the administration and maintenance
of operating systems such as Windows,
