CS Colloquium

Computer Science Colloquium

The Colloquium Tracking System will serve as a web based attendance log for freshman and joint upperclassman colloquiums within the Computer Science Department at NC A&T State University. The system will allow each student user to access a login screen and navigate the system within student user constraints. Students will be able to create an account using their authentic information, view upcoming events and upload a resume. Colloquium will still require each student to come to class to receive a unique randomly generated entry and exit slip. The attendance log will have a link for each week of the semester where students can enter in the entry and exit slip numbers, and submit with a timestamp.

An executive board account should be created to manage a running colloquium schedule, post events, meetings, companies that are coming to campus and any other activities. An administrator account should be created to manage from a super user view to have access to all options on the system. The account will also be able view weekly attendance tables from each colloquium week, access student resumes to give to companies.

This system will utilize a MySQL database to back up data and restore. The web-browser used will be internet explorer 7, Google Chrome, and Firefox 3 or greater. Password ought to be encrypted.

Login Screen


User Attendance Screen

Aggie Exchange Project

The system will be an online store for NC A&T State University Computer Science students only. Each student will be able to access a user-name login screen and navigate books categorized by classes. On the same page, students will have the capability of selling other miscellaneous items such as laptops, gadgets, etc. Books will have a rating system for a later time, so customers can rate items or write reviews of the product. However, when a student wants to sell, they must create a separate account and wait for approval by the site web-master.

An admin page should be created to manage accounts payments, as a member fill up a registration form and agree upon certain terms, submitting their visa-card number or PayPal login. They would receive a thank you note telling them to await confirmation by mail. Simultaneously, the admin will have the full capability to validate the payments through the bank.

This system has to utilize database whether Apache, MySQL to back up data and restore. The web-browser used must be XP and above versions, 32 bit (IE 7 and Firefox 3 or greater). If a student exceeds login trials for 3 times, he or she is forced to change password based on security measures. Password ought to be encrypted. After the user buys more than a single item, he or she will see a virtual shopping cart with their items.
