Computer Science Student Competency System (CSSCS) for Computer Science Program (CS230)

This project is about the evaluation and matching of student competency with the industry requirements. The project is also about closing the gap between the industry demands and the university supplies of graduates. The system will provide information regarding the current industry skill requirement and job prospect. The system will also provide a guide for student to pursue their career of choice. The system will be developed using Ruby on rails framework which is currently used in the industry. The objective of the project is identify the technical skills needs by industry for Computer Science (CS230) graduates based on job opportunities, to identify the user requirement for student competency system, to design a system that can map the industry needs and university supplies and to develop a system that can map the industry needs and university supplies. The scope of the project is the Computer Science (CS230) of Faculty of Computer and Mathematical science in UiTM Shah Alam. The system is originally developed for the High-End Industry Graduates Internships Program (HEIGIP). The analysis and finding are analyzed to accomplish the objective of the research. The methodology used to develop the system is Rapid Application Development. All the objectives were accomplished through out whole the project development process. There are some recommendations for future improvements of the system such as upgrade the existing system to a better and more functional system, implements in each university to help all the students in university, maintain the system by checking it thoroughly in every aspects of the system, add more function to the system so that it will be more useful, provide a simple User Interface so that users wouldn’t have a hard time using it, always check for error in the system to prevent any major breakdown, add other evaluation criteria such soft skills, improve the evaluation standard.
