Residential College Student Activities Management System (RCSAMS)

The title of the project IS Residential College Students Activities
Management System (RCSAMS). This system mainly about having a system
development of helping students in having an organized system to make cafe
complaints, room defect complaints and meeting room booking. All these are under
residential college students activities. The problem of current system is that they are
having or doing it manually. With large amount of data, the probability of making
mistakes is higher, the data might loss, consume a lot of time, space, and money.
Students are busy with classes everyday on office hours, so it will be a little bit time
wasting to go to the residential office only for complaints or booking. Sometimes
they need to do it because it is urgent. If one meeting room in certain residential
village is already occupied, the students need to go to another residential village only
for booking. The scope of study includes on research on current system that being
used by University Technology Petronas Residential College (UTPRC) management.
It also includes the advantages and disadvantages of having the current manual
system and the impact of having the system online. Research also includes possible
tools that will be used in developing the system, the database, progranJming language
and user acceptance of the system. This is done during FYP 1. During FYP 2, the
development of the system will be started. The methodology used for the system is
Prototyping based development from the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Other than that, the author used the method of interviewing the RC staffs besides
conducting a survey for the students. This is to see how important and relevant the
system is towards the students. The surveys had been analyzed and attained
encouraging result towards the system itself. The sample of survey conducted limited
to thirty (30) students with few related questionnaires. Twenty- six (26) out of thirty
(30) students agreed that the system needs to be developed.
