Course Description (adapted from Catalog): Database system components; data
modeling using the Entity-Relationship model, Semantic Object model and other data
models; Relational Database Management Systems-functionality and design concepts and
applications; querying a database; Structured Query Language; functional dependencies
and higher order normalization for relational database design; relation decomposition;
overview of concurrency control and transaction management, Database application design
and management issues. Student projects involve the use of DBMS packages, including
Oracle and Microsoft Access.
Prerequisite: IS118 or CS101 or CS104 or CS113.
Class Communication Space/Learning Management System: Class meets on Tursday,
7:30 - 9:05PM, and for our online component, we will be using Moodle, an open source
Learning Management System at NJIT. Students are obligated to log into Moodle on a neardaily basis, and to keep current.
Course Goals: To understand the design and development issues regarding databases.
Students will obtain a strong conceptual foundation of the underpinnings of database
design, as well as gain experience with some commercial database management systems,
ranging from Microsoft Access to Oracle.
Lecture Notes: Slides will be posted for download each week
Course Grade Components:
· Midterm Exam (closed book) 33%
