Design and Implementation of Student Project Management and Allocation System

Design and Implementation of Student Project Management and Allocation System

ABSTRACT

This project is aimed at developing a web-based system, which manages the activity of “Student Project Management” and allocation.

This system will manage the database and maintain a list of all student or groups of student that have registered as a finalist in this site, and for those students that been shortlisted who have passed the eligibility criteria as set by the lecturer/supervisor.

The programming Language used is Microsoft ASP.NET. This Language was chosen because of its object oriented features and class libraries for developing online applications.

INTRODUCTION

In many tertiary institutions in the country, students seek a project in a given field of specialty as part of the upper level of their degree programme.

Usually, a project can be filled by at most one student, though in some cases a project is suitable for more than one student to work on simultaneously.

To give students something of a choice, there should be as wide a range of available projects as possible, and in any case the total number of project places should not be less than the total number of students. Typically a lecturer will also offer a range of projects, but does not necessarily expect that all will be taken up.
