The document describes a scenario where a university college needs to develop a database system to manage student, program, and employee data. They need a system to register students for programs, track modules and credits, and assign student counselors and lecturers.

The scenario describes an international university college called International School of Management and Technology that offers various education programs. They need a database system to manage student registration details, program and module information, batch details, and employee data for student counselors and lecturers.

The main entities involved are students, programs, batches, modules, employees (student counselors and lecturers). Student data includes registration details, program enrollments. Program data includes modules. Batch data includes start/end dates and student listings. Employee data includes department assignments.

Each student has to submit their assignment as guided in the assignment brief. The students
are guided what sort of information is to produce to meet the criteria targeted. You are
required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work
must be supported with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system.

Important:

 Read the plagiarism notice and requirements at Page 5


 Word-limit- 8000 words (excludes cover page, table of content, figures, graphs,
reference list, appendix, and logbook)

Thesis), Textbooks, Governmental Data, Websites (only a registered organization, an
educational institution, government agency)
 Information taken from unreliable sources will not be accepted
 Must follow Harvard Reference Style

Learning outcomes covered

 LO1. Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database system for a
substantial problem.
 LO2. Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system
design.
 LO3. Test the system against user and system requirements.
 LO4. Produce technical and user documentation.

Scenario

International School of Management and Technology is a new international university college


which conducts different education programs such as Higher National Diplomas, Bachelors and
Masters Programs. They have set of student councilors who register students for the programs.
Once a student registered, following details would be considered. Registration Number, Student
Name, Contact Details (Home, Mobile and Email), Address, and academic details. Same student
can register for multiple programs and a new registration number would be issued based on
registering batch and program. Batch would have a Batch Number, Relevant Program, Starting
Date, End Date and Number of Students.

Once students are registered, the respective student counselors’ ‘employee no’ should be
recorded for further reference. Usually, programs are conducted in both full time and part time
and should be finished within a given time period and payment amount. Each Program have
modules and modules would include Module Number, Name, Credit Value, No of Sessions and
Module leader Employee Number. Module leader is a lecturer.

The employee data should be recorded appropriately within a centralized database. And Each
employee is assigned to different departments such as Academics, Marketing, Accounts, etc.

For reporting you have to create some stored procedures as follows:

 List of Student names of a particular Batch

 List of Batch details and relevant student councilor information

 List of Program details with relevant modules that they relate to

International school of management and Technology is willing to enhance their information


system and to have a properly designed Relational Database Management System. Assume that
you have been assigned as the Database Designer and Administrator to prepare a fully functional
Database for a purposed system.

You need to demonstrate the following skills and understanding.

• Use an appropriate design tool to design a relational database system for a substantial
• Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system
• Test the system against user and system requirements.
• Produce technical and user documentation

Assignment Task
Based on the context above, complete the followings.

Part 1
Produce a Report
 The design of the relational database system using appropriate design tools and
techniques. It should contain at least four interrelated tables.
 Clear statements of user and system requirements.
Produce a more detailed document, so you will produce a comprehensive design for a
fully functional system which will include interface and output designs, data validations
and cover data normalization and assess the effectiveness of design in relation to user and
system requirements.

Part 2
Once the designs are accepted, you have to develop the database system using evidence of user
interface, output and data validations and querying across multiple tables.
 You want to include more than just the basics so you will implement a fully functional
database system which will include system security and database maintenance features.
 You have decided to implement a query language into the relational database system.
1. Assessing whether meaningful data has been extracted through the use of query
tools to produce appropriate management information.
2. Evaluating the effectiveness of the database solution in relation to user and
system requirements and suggest improvements.
3. Once the system has been developed, you will test the system
4. You will produce a brief report assessing the effectiveness of the testing,
including an explanation of the choice of test data used.

Part 3
Lastly you will produce technical and user documentation.

You want to provide some graphical representations for ease of reference in the technical guide,
so you have decided to produce a technical and user documentation for a fully functional system,
including diagrams showing movement of data through the system, and flowcharts describing
how the system works.
