Subject Information

 

ITI 597: IT Infrastructure Library Foundation 

This subject introduces the concepts of IT Service Management (ITSM) based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). It describes a set of processes involved in developing an IT framework and features the exciting and hands-on High Performance simulation that provides an interactive learning experience throughout the course. This results in a thorough grounding in the basic theory of IT Service Management (ITSM), which can be used to participate in ITSM projects at any level.

 

ITI535: Network & Operating Systems Essentials

This subject provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to install and configure a network on stand-alone and client computers that are part of a workgroup or domain. In addition, this subject provides the skills and knowledge necessary to install and configure file, print, and terminal servers.

 

MGI511: Project Management Fundamentals

This is an industry based subject based on the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) industry certification. In this subject students will look at how to initiate, plan, control and complete projects effectively and ensure that Projects are performed to meet objectives within specific cost and time constraints.

 

MGT589: Managing Risk

This subject examines the identification, measurement, and management of risk using multi-disciplinary techniques. The role of the decision maker and the role of decision making heuristics and bias are studied together with key qualitative and quantitative techniques used to model, measure and treat risk. The subsequent treatment of risk through risk retention, self insurance or the transfer and avoidance of risk is also examined. The subject allows students to identify these concepts from the perspective of a risk manager, e.g. establish risks in relation to individuals, property and legal liability. Whenever possible, study examples will be based on the real-world problems encountered in the work environment of students. Assumed knowledge for this subject is equivalent to that covered in introductory subjects in management, economics and finance
