Abstract
Basically, it can be discovered that there are heaps of files,
available space in the office of the Head of Computer Science
Department, slowing down his or her work, making the place untidy and even frightening
him from tasks to be accomplished, but it should not be so in this
era or period of paperless office brought in the use of computer
system. Firstly, I have taken the share of untidiness by developing
designing and application packaging that would aid him is allocation of course
to the different programs that are offered at the department.
Consequently, my project is restricted 40 course allocation their
time table where research show that some course are allocated on the
first semester and second semester respectively depending on the
program whether morning or evening. The electronic document
management system (EDMS) is ideal for voluminous data such as those found on
the office of the Head of Department computer Science, Abia State Polytechnic,
Aba, that is where this research work is embarked on as the case
study.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 Introduction
Over the years allocation of course their credit
units and departmental timetable have been growing from one stage to
another and similarly, the procedures and routine embarked on
every semester coupled with the departmental growth compounded the
problem of manual allocation of course their units and thereby
delays the registration procedures because some students paying
extra fee as payment that is demanded in addition to the usual charge for
registering their course late, as late payment but
computerization or automation of course their credit units
allocation and departmental time provide the most effective reliable and
quickest services required by the students. Basically,
before the invention of computers, computation were done
manually and in the case of the departmental course, their credit
units and departmental timetable, it has caused accelerated progress
especially the automation of department course their credit
units and departmental time table. Computer technology has been accepted as
an indispensable innovation in most fields of human
endeavour in which departmental courses is not an exception.
Hence, the efficiency of an organization or
establishment would be achieved if they embark on compute
r-based system. However, using the computer based system in place of the
manual system, a charge that is going on in Abia State Polytechnic course
registration procedure. It will make the practical insinuation of high
technology. This will enframe the time needed for processing of departmental
course and attend to other subsequent information needed by the
management system. The important of this researcher is so prominent with the
current of processing the departmental course and suggest a complete efficient
and reliable approach that will be of immense benefit to most
higher institutions in general especially to the state polytechnic Aba.
Actually, this would go a long way to improve their
service by exposing and creating awareness of computer applications.
1.1 Statement Of The Problem
Since established in 1992, Abia
State Polytechnic comprises of four schools among which is the school
of science and Industrial Technology (SSIT which house the
department of Computer Science and Statistics Department),
the other schools have problems, One of which was late allocation of
coursd and credit units to enable the students finish their registration
process and have foresight of what the semester
would look like. It was studied and discovered that automation of
departmental course and the manual system of allocation course,
their credit unit usually waste a lot of time and papa even pen can
be reduced on the process of arranging it and also improve upon removing
such problems. Below are some of the problems in this system.
1. It
delays students registration process.
2. It
results to high cost of data processing each semester.
3. it
wastes much paper and make filling of form cumbersome
4. It
delays other departmental duties that are also important
5. It
results to inefficiency of course allocation.
Because of these set backs computer department i.e the case study
has continued to leave activities untended to by the head of
department because of volume of work left for him to do alone.
1.2 Objective of The Study
This project work has many aims and objectives to achieve, these
aims are geared towards carrying investigations in the old course
allocation method (manual) making us of computer department of Abia
State Polytechnic, Aba as a cases study and giving a suggestions on
how wtro improve staff under the department to the numerous students of the
department.
Meanwhile, this wate-up would also among or include all
1. Designing
a system that will be more interactive to students and lecturers.,
2. Provide
an automatic system that will reduce the work load of staff especially
the HODs
3. The
research will also serve as a soure of information to students, lecturers and
computer science researchers who would want to engage in such
topic “The Automation of Departmental course their credit Unit
Allocation and departmental time table.
4. Provide
quicker and more efficient services (course allocation) using
automated system (computer).
1.3 Significance Of The Study
Definitely, the complete implementation of this work
will be introduced as a trend in the present method of allocating course
their credit units and departmental time table, the change would
in-doubt make the management and students happier, such
changes envisage will include the following:
i. The high cost incurred by the management
in buying of papers, ,pens, pencils, makers, measuring ruler
etc , the clerical duties involves in course allocation and
department time table will be reduced drastically because the
hard disk, floppies, tape would be used instead of the
above mentioned.
ii. The time involved in allocating and
re-allocating which normally results to delay will be reduced.
iii. Students would then utilize their time
efficiently during the registration of course.
iv. Automated System would also serve as
a reference file for the students and staff since the course,
credit units time table and lectures in charge of all therefore
then.
v. The researcher work is also
significant because it is based on the award of Diploma in
Computer Science to the researcher however, its significant can
only be envisaged better when it is implemented, evaluate,
and maintained to be running in the computer, such as in
computer Science Department, from where other departments can
follow.
1.5 Background
of The Course study
Abia state Polytechnic was established by ediet
number of 8 of 1994 which has a retrospect effect from 2nd October 1992. its location
is the former premises of Girls technical College (GTC) Aba, along Aba
Owerri Road Umungasi, Aba, Abia State. The National Diploma
Progammes commenced in 1994/1995 academic year while Higher
national Diploma commence in 1999/2000 Academic year.
It’s administration made it possible for it to comprise of four
schools, they are as follows:
1. School
of General studies and continuing Education (SBMT)
2. School
of Engineering Technology (SET)
3. School
of science and Industrial Technology (SSIT)
The schools are made up of Departments, which offers various
National diploma (ND), Higher National diploma (HND) and diploma programmes
respectively. The case study department of computer Science, a sub of schools
of science and Industrial Technology offers various course leading to National
Diploma programme to its students. Hence, the case study is chosen so
that any successful achievement records on this work (research) can easily be
transferred to their departments within the institutions, the staff
of the department comprise of the following.
i. Direct of school (DOS)
ii. Head of Department (HOD)
iii. Secretary
iv. Lecturers
v. Chief Technologist
vi. Assistant technologist
vii. Laboratory Attendants
viii. Office
Assistance (Messengers)
