Question

Scenario: You are a software engineering intern at a local IT consultancy called Tempest Informatics UK Ltd. They would like you to attempt the following programming exercise so that they can assess your programming abilities and training needs while with them by building a simple student information system of the Regent College London. Requirements / Deliverables: Produce a design document for modelling and designing a computer program based on a given problem statement using a range of UML techniques and Pseudocode. For this first assignment you will need to analyse and design in an object-oriented way an application that represents a simple student information system for the College which operates in London to offer different undergraduate and post graduate programmes in different locations. You will be asked to develop, implement, and test your designed solution in the second assignment towards the end of this module. Regent College London has different undergraduate and post graduate programmes under different departments including: • Computing and AI • Business and enterprise • Allied Health The college also has five different campuses as: • London • Harrow • Kingsbury • Southall • Wembley Though there are different departments, some of them are offering undergraduate programme and some of them are also offering post graduate programmes and a few of them may offer both. Students enrolled in both programmes may have pass or refer status for their individual modules. All the courses may have some common attributes such as course name, duration of the course, type of the course (PT/FT) etc and students for the different courses may have common attributes like student name, registration number, address, intake etc Clearly the various types of courses may have some different attributes which are not present in all types of courses. For example, Postgraduate courses would have a property for "Thesis/Dissertation" but HND/HNC courses would not. You should think carefully about what attributes each type of course may or may not have. The system must offer the user (a staff member of the company) the ability to: • View a list of courses that are being offered by each department • View a list of students that are being enrolled in different departments • View a list of undergraduate and post graduate courses that are available in each campus • Inserting a student into the record • Deleting a student from the record • Searching a student record that may show their progress in different modules The program should store data in memory where necessary but should also make appropriate use of file or database storage as appropriate.

Answer 1

Software engineering umbrella activities are only applied during the initial phases of software development projects. The correct answer is 'False'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Software is a product and can be manufactured using the same technologies used for other engineering artifacts. The characteristics of software that make it different from other things that human beings build. Software is a logical rather than a physical system element.
