Stream Outline
e-Commerce Systems
e-Commerce systems provide the IT infrastructure for developing and managing enterprise applications. Typical applications concern both B2C (Business-to-Customer) and B2B (Business-to-Business). They include e-government, e-banking, and e-health. e-Commerce systems engineering requires the understanding of the requirements of business processes (e.g., security, public policy, project management) and the effective use of the IT infrastructure for implementation. The development of e-enterprise systems must also take into consideration technological, managerial, and legal aspects.
In order to capitalise on opportunities in the emerging digital economy, organisations are re-inventing themselves as e-enterprises. More importantly, both business and government organisations need skilled IT professionals in e-commerce systems engineering to provide necessary IT support.
The e-Commerce Systems major in the MIT and MCIT programs exposes students to the foundations of e-Commerce systems and architectures, and to software engineering principles and techniques for building and managing such systems. The major also provides interdisciplinary background in the areas of e-Commerce management and policy, covering the legal aspect of e-Commerce, and effectively integrating all components in the development of e-enterprise systems. Students will be given the opportunity to put theory into practice by designing and implementing a large e-enterprise system.
