HEPL

Grammatical, syntactic and lexicological basis including the vocabulary referring to computer science

Improve the students' ability to master management computing- oriented technical English and improve their communication skills.

I. The specific computing, technical and economic vocabulary will be extended by working on articles, authentic texts, and sound documents.Some grammatical items will sometimes be studied.

II. How to make an effective presentation of a computer project developed during the school year? Students will practise individually or in group and will train the structure of the presentation and use the necessary linguistic tools.

Knowledge of structured programming principles.

Mastering the different techniques used in analysis and design of software applications.

The course is divided into two main parts: analysis methods related to information systems and analysis methods related to object oriented approach.

Main parts:

.Requirement definitions and lifecycle of software applications

. notations and models used in modelling an information system, (Entity-Relationship diagrams, Data Schema, ...)

. Survey of a CASE tool to illustrate theory and covering the whole project lifecycle.

. Analysis and design of an application with object modeling techniques, special aspects.

. UML notation, mainly related to process modeling

Necessary notions to draw up balance sheets, trading results and operational costs.

The subject is actually a continuation of the one studied in the "Comptabilité générale"(General Accounting) and "Economie appliquée"(Applied Economics) courses given in the first year and completes it with new points of management and especially financial management and budgeting. These notions will be seen with concrete examples to develop the dialogue between computer scientists and managers.

1st part: budget management:

The different budgets with estimates, budgeting and checking, calculation of gaps and explanations of them, sales, production, purchasing, investment budgets with profitability studies and investment choices, fund and general budgets with balance sheets and estimate result.

2d parts: financial management:

Diagnosis through the method of classical ratios, instrument panel, funds statement and analysis of financial, economic and monetary capabilities, decision about the financing choice.
