Enterprise Computing

Enterprise Computing (2 Unit)

    General Overview

    Teacher - Nicholas Zupan

    The study of Enterprise Computing 11–12 enables students to develop an understanding of the function and purpose of digital tools and processes, and the importance of data in enterprise information systems. This allows students to effectively use and manage digital tools and technologies in commercial and other settings.

    Students are encouraged to develop an entrepreneurial mindset by working collaboratively, growing specialised communication skills, and applying system, design and computational thinking skills. The knowledge and skills developed in this course ensure students can contribute to a world increasingly reliant on the manipulation and use of digital systems.

    Students develop an understanding of how computing technologies can be harnessed to provide effective user interaction and efficient access to information that supports commercial, industrial, social and environmental initiatives. Students perform project work and apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of different environments and use their acquired knowledge and skills to develop an enterprise project. Project work encourages students to collaborate on problems and develop team and communication skills that are highly valued in the industry.

    Enterprise Computing encourages the understanding of the implications of responsible and ethical application of digital systems, and the application of appropriate standards in the development of solutions. Students learn about the technologies that support enterprise-based information systems. As they develop digital solutions, students investigate social and safety issues relating to cyber safety, cybersecurity and digital footprints. They engage with technologies that improve access to, and participation in, computing technologies across a range of enterprises.

    Preliminary Course (120 hours)

    The Year 11 course provides students with the opportunity to develop and apply an understanding of enterprise computing systems in the safe and secure usage and storage of data. This is done by manipulating tools and resources while being aware of their social, ethical and legal implications.

    HSC Course (120 hours)

    The Year 12 course provides students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge and understanding of enterprise computing systems. This will then be applied to the development of a major enterprise project using project management skills.

    How can this course help me in the future?

    Enterprise Computing refers to business-oriented information technology that is critical to a company's operations. It encompasses types of information technology tools that businesses use for resource management, efficient production operations, relationship management and back office support.

    Enterprise Computing prepares students for careers stretching across many sectors and industries and is much larger than what’s portrayed in popular culture and the news. 

    Careers can include but are not limited to:

    • IT Manager
    • Artificial Intelligence specialist
    • Information Security specialist
    • Computer Network Architect
    • Data Scientist
    • Computer Systems Analyst
    • Cloud System Administrator
    • Cloud Computing Engineer

    However, as most workplaces are now heavily dependent on digital data and infrastructure, Enterprise Computing is also a beneficial course for any student interested in developing the skills required to enter into business operations of all types in all areas.
