PREFACE
Today’s modern computers no doubt occupy a central and strategic position in
any form of education given to man at any level.
An introduction to computerization of hostel allocation is aimed at introducing
the management of college of education Ekiadolor and other educational
institute with the need to computation of hostel allocation rather that the
moribund (past/ancient) methods of data collation and allocation of
accommodation.
This project work indicate and gives a brief description of problems
encountered using the manual approach of data collation. This study is aimed at
equipping the management of the college that the computer as an electronic
device can help resolve the problem of mis-allocation of hostel accommodation and
also to convince the college of management that with the aid of the computer,
the speed, efficiency and accuracy of hostel allocation will reduce the problem
of double allocation will reduce the problem of double allocation and counting.
A dbase iv program was used to buttress the fact that computation stands the
fastest and easiest mode of data collation.
I hereby recommend this work to be read and used not only by educators but for
all managerial bodies that demands adequacy of data collation.
Finally, it is of great delight to contribute and also write preface to this
volume because I believe that it is a worthwhile effort to introduce the
management of the college of education to the fundamental nature of scientific
approach to problem solving.

INTRODUCTION
1. BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Computer as an
indispensable tool in the total life of human endeavor has gained precedence in
the world especially in the development growth of the Nigeria society.
Computers are supper machines that convert your physical/mental effort into a
mere easy life. The use of computer in our everyday life needs not to be over
emphasized. This is because of the gradual increase in human population and
complexity of life which has equally brought about more volumes of data being
generated every day.
The gradual increase in human population has equally affected the education
sector as higher institutions in the country today are currently faced with the
problem of how to allocate hostels/halls of residence to students. The fact
remains that the accommodation of students usually out numbers the
accommodation available. It is compounded by those accommodations to students
in most institutions, this is very slow and inefficient method of allocating
hostel accommodation population outnumbered the accommodation space available.
Hence, there is the need for computerization of the hostel process.
1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This project work is
geared towards a general awareness of data processing i.e. the role computer
can play in the processing of data and information with the use of automated
data processing methods. The following are this project aims and objectives.
i.
To encourage a reliable
and accurate allocation of hostel accommodation to students
ii.
To ease the problem of
allocating more than a hostel space to a single student.
iii.
To increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of the hostel allocation process.
iv.
To ensure that all
hostel allocation follows laid down rules and regulations.
v.
To ensure a timely and
fast methods of allocating hostel accommodation to students.
vi.
SCOPE
OF STUDY
This research work
attempt to give a general appraisal of the use of computers in the allocation
of hostel accommodation to students by highlighting and expanciating on certain
areas that data processing produced standards, environment and other such basic
information that will enhance the use of computers and its peripherals in the
allocation of hostels accommodation.
The study is carried out to enable a detail investigation of the manual methods
system used in the allocation of hostel/halls of resident to students in order
to justify the importance and flexibility of electronic data processing (EDP)
system (use of computer) in the allocation of hostel accommodation by the
students affairs division of the college of education Ekiadolor Benin city.
1. METHODOLOGY OF STUDY
For the purpose of this
project, detail information was collected from the student’s affairs division
and halls of residence of the college of education Ekiadolor Benin City. The
data collection was done through personal interview with different staff
caliber.
The data items in the research work are organized and presented in related
table in file in which each row is record and each column a field name.
1. SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The use of computers in
the hostel allocation system is an extremely important function in any
educational institution with the gradual increase in the student’s population
in the college of education system today.
The use of manual methods in allocating hostel accommodation to students is
becoming an impossible task as a result of the huge amount of detail
information that is needed to be processed. More so, manual methods can
physically be cumbersome and demanding. Thus speed, accuracy, and efficiency
are not guaranteed by the of manual method of data processing.
However, the use of computers guaranteed efficiency, speed, accuracy and the
ability to perform receptive tasks; all these are implemented in this project
work. So it is the hope of the researcher of this project work that the project
will provide the students affairs division and the college of education
Ekiadolor in general, an efficiency very fast and reliable hostel allocation
system and it will go a long way to reduce greatly and to the bearest minimum
the problems associated with manual methods of allocating hostel accommodation
to students.
1. ORGANIZATION OF HOSTELS OCCUPANT
This research work is
geared towards the provision of a fast, accurate and reliable ways of
allocating hostel accommodation (computerized hostel allocation system) to
students. Hence, this work is presented in such a way that readers can grasp
significant concepts in an orderly and cumulative manner. The various chapters
that make up this project work are orderly and sufficiently enriched with
necessary information needed to enhance a better understanding of what the
project work is all about.
Chapter one introduces the study, look at the aim and objectives of the study,
the scope, significant, methodology, organization of study and limitations.
Chapter two looks at the literature review and brief history of the college of
education Ekiadolor-Benin, halls of residence as well as that of the student’s
affairs division of the college. It also went ahead to look at the
administration or organization structure of the college, the problem of using
manual method in allocating hostel accommodation, the computerized allocation
system, its advantages and limitations.
Chapter three examines the design specification, input designs, output designs,
files designs and some tool of programming with the computer.
Chapter four looks at program documentation, program coding, software
environment and program testing.
Chapter five talks about the summary, recommendation and conclusion of the
research work.
1. DEFINITION OF TERMS
The terms of that have a
unique use as regard the study and which are subject to several interpretations
by the different readers of the project or that are technical in nature such as
technical jargon used in the body of the project are clearly and technically
defined explicitly under the following sub headings:
DATA: This is a representation of facts concepts or
instruction in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation
or processing by humans or by automated means.
ACCOMODATION: This is the same thing as hostel, it is a
building in which lodging are provided for students and certain group of worker
e.t.c.
DATA PROCESSING (DP): These are a sequence of actions which are
carried out regularly in order to maintain a steady flow of work. According to
Mike steels, data processing is a representation of facts or concepts in an
organized manner in order that it may be stored, communicated, interpreted or
processed by automated means. It is a systematic performance of operation upon
data such as handling, merging, sorting and counting.
HOSTEL: This is a building in which cheap food and
lodgings are provided for students, certain group of workers, people without homes,
traders, e.t.c.
COMPUTER: This is an electronic machine or device which
is under the concept of stored program which has the ability to accept data in
a prescribed form (input), carryout some arithmetic and logical operation on
the data (processing) and supply the result as information in a specified
format (output).
POPULATION: These are the total number of people living in
a geographical area in a given time. The students make up the populaces of the
hostel/ halls of residence.
