Designing the system is a higher level activity that establishes it’s general structure, whereas writing a program is lower level function where the actual code if created the implement the system. During design you will be doing things like choosing technologies (databases, languages, development frameworks), determining the various components of the system, determining how the components will interact, developing the high level structure of the components, etc.

(November 11, 2009) Paul Borrill of REPLICUS Software Corporation discusses results from physics and other disciplines that investigate if and where hazards to the integrity of our information may exist due to current conceptions of time in computer science. Borrill focuses upon distributed systems, where scale, transmission rates and spatial distribution would most readily manifest anomalous behavior arising from such flaws.

i dont understand the terms , define and propose a new ?? when they mean new. do they mean i have 2 create a new information. or do i have 2 give a example of a new one that is commonly used in business ??

You don’t say what level you are at – but I wd t hink it means:

Define an information system that you consider would be good, then propose it.

gd luck

I am an Undergrad just little confused if Computer Engineering or Information systems is a good one to be chosen?Which is in demand in near future?

This answer might depend on how long it will be until you enter the field. But, IT (Informations Technologies) is said to be in the TOP 10 jobs for the next 8 years. IS is a simular field to IT.

It is not a competitive advantage any longer. It is a matter of survival. The competitive advantage ended in the 70’s. A modern enterprise can not be properly managed or run without an information system. The days of the rooms full of people with green eye shades is over. Even individuals rely on information systems today. Quicken, MS Money, spread sheets. I have a gross of spread sheets.

Let us take for example of just one business, the grocery store. Actually, today it is called the supermarket. 30 years ago, they had scores of clerks stamping prices on cans of beans, etc. Then they had scores of clerks keying those prices into cash resisters and other scores of clerks going through the isles trying to determine what they needed to restock. Then they had scores of clerks typing up purchase orders for more beans. Informations systems have eliminated all of that. The bar code on the product, tells the information system the product that was just bought. The information system calculates the price, deducts the item from inventory, and checks against the reorder point, and if that is reached issues an order for more of that item from the vendor and transmits the order to the vendors computer.

Do you think that a company such as Walmart could even exist today without information systems?

I am a psyc major right now but I think I like IS more and plan on getting IS related jobs. Instead of making IS to my major which would take me a couple extra years to get an undergraduate degree, I made it as my minor. So I am just wondering what kind of job I can get if i have a combination like this?? What program in graduate school would I be applying for?? Thanks everyone!

*ps. Please don’t tell me to switch it to my major.

IS jobs are looking for people who majored in IS, not Psychology. The unfortunate reality is that there is a REASON everyone is advising you to change your major.

Im Confused with these 2 major,i dont know what is the different??

MIS – essentially a business degree with basic programming skills being taught.

CS ( Computer Science) – Heavily geared towards teaching you to become a programmer: so you will be covering algorithms, compiler theory, programming languages, software engineering, math.

CIS – programming and business combination, but a stronger emphasis towards programming and hardware issues.

You need to check the course content for each of these degrees to see the actual difference for yourself.

You can find a heated discussion about it on this thread:

Hope this helps.
