CMIS302/System Design is a continuation of CMIS301/System Analysis. Systems Design is actually the third step of the SDLC - it's where the analyst designs how the system will operate. The physical components of the system are defined here which specifies how the problem at hand will be solved. So the focus shifts to how the system will operate, in terms of the hardware, software and network infrastructure, e.g. forms, user interface and reports that will be used. This will be accomplished using Object Oriented design principles and use case realization.
We will continue with the object oriented approach with UML, where MS Visio still plays a cardinal role in the development of a system.
