Students in the class will be divided into teams of 3 members each. Each team will develop a specific module of the Maryland State University (MSU) project. The project will be developed using the Oracle Developer 2000 CASE tool for Oracle 7 DBMS.

Teams are expected to develop their respective modules based on the Systems Development Life Cycle concepts (Planning, Analysis, Design, and Implementation excluding Maintenance). Deliverables at each phase of the project will be required at pre-determined dates. Teams are expected to follow the deliverable schedule to ensure that the project is completed in the allocated time.  Towards the end of the semester, teams are expected to present their working module to the class after which the different modules will be integrated into a single system for MSU.
