 How this project meets Computer Science Internship Requirements

1. I plan to work over 120 hours on this internship to receive 3 hours of school
credit.
2. I will play a role analyst, architect, developer and tester. This will require many of
my computer science skills and will allow me to further develop them.

CS 3940 – Internship Project Description

Introduction
Strategic Technologies, formerly known as Research and Education Support, provides
application support for the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri. Strategic
Technologies (ST) is responsible for architecting and maintaining the systems that
support the school of Medicine’s business process such as admitting students, and
tracking grades.
Project Definition and Significance
The School of Medicine’s application infrastructure has decayed with continued use and
modification. This project provides a complete upgrade from the existing system to a new
system based on a set of SQL 2005 servers and ASP.NET 2.0. System constraints require
constant application availability.
Project Specification
We will develop a scalable and extensible system that addresses the following concerns:
Rigidity - System is hard to change.
Fragility - Changes causes system to break easily and require other changes.
Immobility – It is difficult to design components that can be reused in other systems.
Needless Complexity - System contains infrastructure that has no direct benefit.
Opacity - Code is hard to understand.

A portion of scope of this project is determining the data requirements and specification
of the system.

This will require the development of several modules depicted in the figure below:

It will also require the discovery of --due to lack of available documentation-- and
development of other modules.

Project Deliverable
The delivered solution will be produced evolutionally. In a series of small iterations
logical components of the overall system will be analyzed, designed, and implemented.
The final system will include a complete transformation of all existing data, the
implementation of the necessary business rules, and development of a unified interface.
These will run on a pair of ASP.NET web servers and a pair of SQL database servers.
