1. ITEC 630 PowerPoint Survival Kit
Use it to get through this course… Use it after this course!
Dr. J. Greg Hanson

2. Why This Survival Kit?
I am interested in your learning tools and methods for Structured Analysis and Design and I don’t want you to have to struggle with how to use PowerPoint. This Survival Kit provides you all of the symbols in PowerPoint that you can use and re-use on your homework problems, exams, and your Individual Design Project. I hope you find it helpful.
Yes, I know Visio is an awesome engineering drawing tool, but PowerPoint is simple and ubiquitous – so that is what we will use.

3. You Will Use PowerPoint For…
System Hierarchies
Data Flow Diagramming
Gantt Charts
Entity Relationship Modeling
Building User Interface (UI) Mockups
Structure Charts
These are the important graphical tools we will cover in this class. Knowing how to use them to design a system is what the class is all about. As we go through the course we will learn these tools in the order above. Use the symbols provided in this presentation to make drawing the diagrams easy for you.

let’s keep it simple and just use these
symbols.
