Design of Decision Support Systems

This course will have students dive into what decision support systems are and how to design one on their own. Decision support systems help support managerial decisions through the use of information technology, data, and models to aid in making decisions. This requires knowledge of the data and how to access it. Students will need to gather requirements to determine what the decision support system should do to provide useful information to the user. Also, students will be leveraging querying and scripting languages to extract useful information from the business data. Various technologies will be studied in the course as the environment of decision support systems is ever changing. The concepts learned in this class will help students design a working decision support system that provides valuable information to the end user.
