Abstract:
The project Periodic Census with graphical representation is a software
development project to make it easy for schools to calculate the population of
students. This project is meant for implementation of census for the University of
Embu which doesn't carry out census. Most institutions do not have clear
information about the total number of students in school in terms of those
accommodated in hostels versus those living outside school premises and worst
still the number of drop-outs. All this information need to be in a system at regular
interval of time. This will help the university to keep track of student and employee
behavior. The main objective of this project is to gather information about the
University in order to present a full and reliable picture of the institution in terms
of demographic, social, and economic activities. It specially aims at collecting and
disseminating basic statistics including name, gender, school, department, course,
place of residence and such characteristics such as fee status and course
registration and attendance. In this project, the structured analysis and design
methodology has been adopted and explained. The high level model of the
proposed system has also been designed and displayed in a format that is easily
understandable to the user. This high level model of the system has also been
designed architecturally with detailed design through its separate components.
There are three modules in each, each taking care of a specific action say,
registration of students and employees, management of users by administrator and
representation of data.
