Project Abstract
<p> This Project Design and Implementation of Orientation Camp Information<br>System (A Case Study of NYSC Orientation Camp Awgu ) was designed to<br>eliminate the problems associated with manual handling of information at<br>the Orientation Camp such as data redundancy, time wastage etc. The<br>Design and Implementation was carried out using the top down software<br>development approach. The tools used to implement this project are<br>VB.Net and SQL Server. <br></p>
Project Overview
<p>
</p><p>INTRODUCTION<br>1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY<br>The national youth service corps (NYSC) is an organization set<br>by the Nigerian government to involve the country’s graduates in<br>the development of the country. There is no military conscription<br>in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of universities and later<br>polytechnics have been required to take part in the national youth<br>service corps (NYSC) program for one year. This is known as<br>national service year, corps members are posted to cities far from<br>their city of origin. They are expected to mix with people of other<br>tribes, social and family backgrounds, to learn the culture of the<br>indigenes in the place they are posted to. This action is aimed to<br>bring about unity in the country and to help youth appreciate<br>other ethnic groups. There is an orientation period of<br>approximately three weeks spent in a camp away from family and<br>friends. After the orientation process corps members are posted<br>to the areas of primary assignment. There is also a passing out<br>ceremony at the end of the year. The program has also helped in<br>creating entry-level jobs for a lot of Nigerian youths. An NYSC<br>forum dedicated to NYSC members was recently built to bridge<br>the gap amongst members serving across Nigeria and also<br>serves as an avenue for corps members to share job information<br>and career resources as well as get loans from the national<br>directorates of employment.<br>1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS<br>The NYSC is faced with the following problems due to their<br>manual method of handling information:<br> Poor handling of corps members’ information<br> Time wastage in searching for information<br> Data redundancy<br>1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT<br>The objectives of this project are as follows:<br> To design an information system that makes data access<br>easy for corps members.<br> To design a system that can automatically post corps<br>members to their areas of primary assignment.<br> To design a system that can help the NYSC management to<br>supervise corps members.<br>1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY<br>The good reason why this project is done is to provide an efficient<br>method of handling corps members’ data at the orientation.</p><p>1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY<br>This project covers the design and implementation of<br>information system for the NYSC orientation camp (A case study<br>of Awgu)<br>I.6 PROJECT REPORT ORGANIZATION<br>The project is organized as follows:<br>Chapter one of this project reports gives the detailed introduction<br>of the project. Chapter two gives a review of the related literature.<br>Chapter three covers the methodology, data collection, analysis<br>of existing system, limitation of the existing system, system<br>design, the database design, system flowchart and the top down<br>design. Chapter four covers implementation, testing and<br>integration. Chapter five gives the summary, limitations of the<br>project, recommendation, bill of engineering measurement and<br>evaluation (BEME) and conclusion.</p>
