This course builds on the foundations of Information Technology (IT) acquired during the first two years of cadet experiences to ensure graduates have the capacity and confidence to employ information technology--hardware, software, and networks--to empower people and organizations to acquire, manage, communicate and defend information, solve problems, and adapt to change. It provides a deeper understanding of sensor and communications technologies; computer processing, storage, and networks; cyberspace operations, planning and management; interaction of IT components; IT-enabled decision making; and the evolving legal and ethical framework surrounding use of IT and operating in the cyber domain. Information Assurance issues are addressed throughout the course. Cadets complete projects throughout the course using specified information systems to meet given requirements.
