LO2 Develop a fully functional relational database system, based on an existing system design

LO3 Test the system against user and system requirements

LO4 Produce technical and user documentation.

Transferable skills and competencies developed

Computing-related cognitive skills:
● Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to computing and computer applications
● Use such knowledge and understanding in the modelling and design of computer-based systems for the purposes of comprehension, communication, prediction and the understanding of trade-offs
● Recognise and analyse criteria and specifications appropriate to specific problems, and plan strategies for their solutions
● Critical evaluation and testing: analyse the extent to which a computer-based system meets the criteria defined for its current use and future development
● Methods and tools: deploy appropriate theory, practices and tools for the design,B implementation and evaluation of computer-based systems. Computing-related practical skills
● The ability to specify, design and construct reliable, secure and usable computer-based systems
● The ability to evaluate systems in terms of quality attributes and possible trade-offs presented within the given problem
● The ability to deploy effectively the tools used for the construction and documentation of computer applications, with particular emphasis on understanding the whole process involved in the effective deployment of computers to solve practical problems
● The ability to critically evaluate and analyse complex problems, including those with incomplete information, and devise appropriate solutions, within the constraints of a budget. Generic skills for employability
● Intellectual skills: critical thinking; making a case; numeracy and literacy
● Self-management: self-awareness and reflection; goal setting and action planning
● Independence and adaptability; acting on initiative; innovation and creativity
