Design and implementation of a web-based final year students research project supervision management system

Description

Abstract This project is aimed at developing a web-based system, which manages the activities of “Student Project Management” and Supervision. Surveys conducted have shown that in recent years, due to the increasing number of students and the supervisor’s other busy engagements, the conventional means of supervision have yielded poor results. Current practice uses a log book to document meetings and discussions between supervisors and students. To improve project monitoring and supervision, a web-based supervision management system was developed. This system will manage the database and maintain a list of all student or groups of students that are registered as project students under a supervisor. The programming language used is PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) and MySQL database. This Language was chosen because of its object-oriented features and class libraries for developing online applications..
