About the Workshops

Workshops will be given at the Virginia Campus, Ashburn and at the Graduate Education Center, Arlington. No workshops are offered at the Main Campus.

Workshops will be offered several times per year in programming, systems analysis and database for students who require prerequisite training in these areas.

Each workshop will be held over two weekends: Friday 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Maximum workshop attendance is 20 students. Additional sessions will be added to meet demand. Workshops may be cancelled if fewer than five students sign up for a given session.

Following is a description and schedule for these workshops. (Please note: the statistics prerequisite may only be satisfied by registering for MGT 202 or a comparable statistics class; there is no corresponding workshop.)

Systems Analysis Workshop

This workshop fulfills the systems analysis prerequisite for the MIS field of study; students in the ISD and ISPM fields of study must have prior experience in systems analysis in order to take the workshop in lieu of the corresponding course.

Students will gain exposure to structured analysis and design methods. Topics of discussion will include techniques for developing data dictionaries, data flow diagrams, and entity-relationship diagrams. Participants will receive hands-on exposure to the use of Windows-based CASE tools.

Database Systems Workshop

This workshop fulfills the database prerequisite for the MIS field of study; students in the ISD and ISPM fields of study must have prior database experience in order to take the workshop in lieu of the corresponding course.

The workshop will address: database systems, hardware and software technology, computer networking, and other miscellaneous topics. Hands-on exercises using Microsoft Access will be included.

Programming Workshop

This workshop will satisfy the programming prerequisite for the MIS field of study. Students in the ISD and ISPM fields of study must have prior programming experience in order to take the workshop in lieu of the corresponding course.

Conventional structured programming, visual programming and database programming will be presented, compared and contrasted. Students will receive hands-on assignments in Microsoft Visual Basic to provide sufficient programming experience to proceed with the MS-IST graduate courses.

 Registration

Your advisor will determine whether:

1. you have satisfied a prerequisite,
2. you need to satisfy a prerequisite by taking a full semester course, or
3. you need a refresher in the subject matter and may therefore satisfy the prerequisite by taking a workshop.

Only students who have been directed by their advisor to complete a prerequisite workshop should register. To register for one or more of the following workshops, you must complete and return the registration form along with payment for the desired workshop(s).

Students are registered on a first -come, first -served basis. There is an enrollment limit of 20 participants for most sections. Students who submit their registration form without payment will not be registered for a workshop until payment is received.

Payment

The fee for each workshop is $500.00. Payment may be made by check, money order, or an organization purchase order. Credit cards cannot be accepted. You will receive written confirmation once your registration and payment has been received.
