Pretende-se que dada uma situação de potencial introdução ou desenvolvimento de um sistema de informação numa organização, o estudante seja capaz de participar e/ou conduzir um processo de análise que leve à definição dos requisitos técnicos e organizacionais detalhados desse sistema.

----------------------------------------
Competências
----------------------------------------
Pretende-se habilitar os alunos com:

- competências técnicas para analisar processos organizacionais e identificar, analisar e especificar requisitos de sistemas de informação;

- competências sociais para participarem em equipas de projecto envolvidas no desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação nas organizações.

Pretende-se ainda que os alunos adquiram uma atitude sócio-técnica relativa ao desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação nas organizações, isto é, que encarem as actividades de desenvolvimento como requerendo sempre uma intervenção equilibrada e integrada em termos técnicos, organizacionais e sociais.
