In this capstone course, students will identify, gather, analyze, and write requirements based on user needs and will then design, construct, integrate, and implement an information system as a solution to a business problem. Students will document integration architecture, methodologies, and technologies using industry best practices. User needs and user centered design will be applied in the selection, creation, evaluation, and administration of the resulting system. The system design process will take into account professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities and stress the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society. Discussion will also cover the need to engage in continuing professional development.

This module provides an overview of system integration concepts and introduces the fundamental tools used in DevOps practices. Students will learn about the importance of integration in modern software development and gain hands-on experience with essential DevOps tools. The module also covers the importance of forming project teams and the initiation of the first sprint.
