This project aims to address inefficiencies in data management at the Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing. The current system relies on disparate spreadsheets managed individually by faculty and staff, resulting in inconsistent reporting and inefficiencies in decision-making. The project involves designing a comprehensive data management solution that: -Tracks students from their initial expression of interest in programs through their graduation. -Streamlines teaching assignments to align faculty availability and expertise with course needs. -Deliverables include a fully documented proposal for a functional data management system, a prototype or proof of concept demonstrating its core functionalities, and recommendations for its implementation within the College of Nursing. This project provides students with the opportunity to tackle a real-world problem, leveraging skills in systems analysis, database design, and process improvement. The solution must be scalable, intuitive, and customizable to meet the specific needs of the College.
