This course introduces the managerial aspects of computer science and information systems departments and accompanies the student to be in a position to assume specific responsibilities and under supervision in the management of the computer function.
In order to take on tasks of managing the IT function of organizations, the role of business processes is analyzed and, from these, infer the aspects that an information system must cover in order for business processes. work properly.
The future engineer is introduced to the ability to create information systems plans in an organization and, therefore, is trained to recognize the value chain of a particular company in order to adapt its information systems. information to give strategic coverage to the organization.
This subject assumes all or part of the content descriptors of the verification report:
This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19.
In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
At a general level, this subject contributes to the following learning outcomes specified for the subject "Information services and systems for organizations":
• Demonstrate knowledge of the ethical dimension in the company: the social and corporate responsibility in general and, in particular, the civil and professional responsibilities of the computer engineer.
• Specify, design, implement, manage and maintain complex and / or critical software systems and services.
• Evaluate and select hardware and software production platforms for the execution of computer applications and services.
• Evaluate hardware / software systems according to a certain quality criterion.
• Determine the factors that negatively affect the security and reliability of a hardware / software system, and minimize its effects.
• Identify current and emerging technologies and assess whether they are applicable, and to what extent, to meet user needs.
• Ensure that an organization's ICT systems function properly, are secure, and are properly installed, documented, customized, maintained, updated, and replaced, and that the organization's people receive proper ICT support.
• Direct, plan and coordinate the management of the IT infrastructure: hardware, software, networks and communications.
• Design and manage information systems.
• Understand and use manuals, product specifications and other technical information written in English effectively.
At a more specific level, at the end of the course, the student must be able to:
Guided learning hours include:
Theoretical classes in large group in which:
Internships in small teams of two to four people that have a part that is performed in the laboratory led or supervised by teachers and a part in which the team must
operate autonomously.
Directed research activities on topics related to the subject.
Within the hours of autonomous learning are considered the hours to prepare the theoretical classes, the hours to study and consolidate the acquired knowledge, the hours
to prepare the work of the practices and, finally, the hours that the student can dedicate to increase and complement his knowledge on the matter.
This course, due to the situation generated by COVID, some of the large group sessions will be held in hybrid format: face-to-face and online (via streaming).
This will allow students to rotate to face-to-face classes, respecting the maximum number of students per classroom imposed by the distance measures. When they do not have a face-to-face session, they will be able to follow the class online from home.
With regard to internship sessions in smaller spaces (such as laboratories, studios or sets), where appropriate, work will be carried out simultaneously in several spaces in order to ensure that the conditions established by the safety protocols are met.
Class dynamics in order to discover the different challenges proposed by the management of information systems.
