Personal Section

My Career Mission Statement

My purpose is to perform, provide

and develop all of my skills while

achieving excellent results

in the computer software industry

and to be able to utilize my knowledge

and abilities to achieve success.

My Elevator Speech

I have been teaching myself computers for the last 10 or 12 years. I got to the

point where I could break them down and rebuild them in record time. However,

learning the hardware of them just wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to learn

more about how the software worked. So for the past 4 years, I have been

attending classes at DeVry University. I am seeking a Bachelors Degree in Com-

puter Information Systems with a concentration in System Analysis and

Integration. I am a holistic learner with plenty of proven motivation.

CIS115 Logic and Design

This course introduces basics of programming

logic, as well as algorithm design and develop-

ment, including constants, variables, expres-

sions, arrays, files and control structures for

sequential, iterative and decision processing.

Students learn to design and document pro-

gram specifications using tools such as

flowcharts, structure charts and pseudocode.

Program specification validation through desk

-checking and walk-throughs is also covered.

My Plan of Study

Computer Information Systems program graduates

are prepared to successfully join the work force

as technical and management professionals in a variety of industries.

CIS graduates play essential roles on the business team,

typically designing and implementing hardware and software solutions

to business problems. They are also expected to possess knowledge,

experience and skills that will enable

them to adapt to change in this dynamic field

through a lifelong learning process.

COMP100 Computer Applications for

Business with Lab

This course introduces basic concepts and

principles underlying personal productivity

tools widely used in business such as word

processors, spreadsheets, email and web

browsers. Students also learn basic computer

terminology and concepts. Hands-on exercises

provide students with experience use of PCs

and current personal productivity tools.

Project Samples

System Request

Project sponsor: School of Prosperity (SoP)

Business Need: Update desktop application to Internet accessible application to

maintain records of students, courses, classes, and student

registration and grades.

Business Requirements:

Business Value:

Conservative estimates of tangible value to the company include:

The SRS will enable the school to continue the expansion of its student population

and to effectively manage the expansion

Eliminate many school staff hours re-entering paper form student registrations

by allowing the students to self-register

Make the system easy to access from anywhere there is an Internet connection

and a web browser

The functionality that the system should have is listed below:

Be accessible over the Internet

Maintains records of school students

Maintains records of courses offered by school

Maintain records of classes offered of the above courses (both

online and face-to-face classes)

Allow students to self-register over the Internet

Special Issues or Constraints:

The SRS must be able to handle both online and face-to-face class offerings

The system must be accessible over the Internet to both school staff and students each with ap-

propriate permissions

The SRS must try to integrate with and re-use existing desktop application code and database

as much as possible to reduce development cost

Sequence Diagram Here the student requests the course list from the course and selects desired course. When course is submitted, course calls the class list. Class list is displayed and student makes his choice. The student then submits desired registration. Student is validated. If valid, the system creates aStudent and confirms registration. If student is not validated, an error message is dis-played.

Communication Diagram This is my communication diagram. It is to model the dynamic aspect of the objects and how they interact by exchanging messages. In this model I am showing how the student actor communicates with all the objects as well as how the objects respond to the actor and to other objects.

State Machine Diagram

This is my state machine diagram. The unregistered student chooses his course

and class. Upon submitting, the student is pending registration.

Registration rules are verified.

If student passes verification, he is registered for class.

If not, he is returned to the unregistered student status and

given the opportunity

To try again.

Package Diagram

When making this package diagram, I grouped the Student and School Staff classes into

one package because they are both people.

I left the Registration Records as a single stand-alone class for the time being because it

was the only class going into a single package.

I named my last package Curriculum Package as the classes in it deal with the set of

courses and their content offered by the school.

I figured the people are dependent on the registration records as this is a student regis-

tration system. Also, looking at the diagram, this seems to

Be the intent. The Registration Records are dependent on the

Curriculum Package.

These packages will be quite useful when we get into writing code for the project

Because the packages define our namespaces.
