Summary of the Profile

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: To provide information systems engineering knowledge and skills necessary to analyse, design, implement, deploy and improve information storage and management systems that meet the needs of society and business, to plan and implement information systems development projects and work in teams of such projects. Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and its Application: A1 Is able to explain consistently the facts, concepts, theories, and mathematical methods necessary to understand computer science principles and related to operation of computers and networks, their hardware and software, its characteristics and practical application possibilities, applied software solutions. A2 Is able to explain consistently the principles, languages and technologies of algorithm construction and programming, principles of human-computer interaction, typical stages of

information systems' life cycle as well as methods used during those stages. A3 Is able to explain consistently the social aspects relevant to the development of information systems that meet ethical norms, legal requirements, and the needs of the modern society. A4 Is able to apply knowledge in the study fields of computer science for development, of information systems or services-based solutions of professional problems. A5 Is able to explain consistently the principles of business process analysis, information system requirements specification and design, and project management. A6 Is able to explain consistently the principles and technologies of development, administration, and usage of relational and non-relational databases.

Research Skills: B1 Is able to analyse at different levels of abstraction the problem of professional activities related to development of information systems. B2 Is able to prepare the data and information required to solve a relevant professional information systems development problem, to design dedicated databases and data repositories. B3 Is able to analyse the solutions, data, and information, including that stored in various databases and repositories, required to solve a professional information systems development problem. B4 Is able to evaluate critically the collected and obtained data, information, results, and developed solutions, as well as audit and evaluate information systems projects and working systems.

Specific Skills: C1 Is able to apply various methods and tools used in the information systems life cycle when planning, managing, and executing information systems development projects. C2 Is able to select suitable models, environments, and tools of information systems development, deployment, and maintenance. C3 Is able to model the organisations’ architecture as well as their business processes and needs using CASE, business process modelling, ERP, and other tools. C4 Is able to prepare methodically the specification of requirements, system design and other documentation necessary to develop, deploy, expand, use, and administer the information system. C5 Is able to program, test, administer, and deploy the information system or its components that solve a real-life problem, taking into consideration the organisational and technological environment, possible solution alternatives, and specified requirements.

Social Skills: D1 Is able to communicate professionally in the official state and at least one foreign language with information systems project participants and other stakeholders. D2 Is able to work effectively and responsibly in information systems development teams in accordance with the principles of proper professional and ethical behaviour.

Personal Skills: E1 Is able to study systematically and independently, analyse the literature in the field of computer science, aiming for continuous improvement and realising the necessity of lifelong learning.

E2 Is able to work independently and responsibly, accurately planning activities, taking initiative, and assuming personal responsibility. E3 Is able to demonstrate creativity when solving professional and scientific research related problems and when encountering new information systems methods, technologies, and tools. Activities of teaching and learning: The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence. The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components). The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: Academic and Technical Communication in English (Level C1), Bachelor’s Degree Final Project, Business Intelligence and Data Mining, Computer Architecture, Computer Graphics, Computer Networks and Internet Technologies, Databases, Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, Discrete Structures, Fundamentals of Information Systems, Information System Design and CASE Technology, Information Systems Graphical User Interface, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Introduction to Studies of Informatics, Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Operating Systems, Physics 1, Product Development Project, Professional Internship, Software Engineering, Teamwork in Information Systems Projects, The First Principles of Digital Logic, Theory of Probability and Statistics.
