UMW Honors Web Application

Course: Software Engineering (CPSC 430)

Assignment: UMW Honors Web Application

The Honors Program Web Application was made to be a web application and is a replacement for the current system that is being used by the Honors Program. The honors students information are currently only accessible by visiting the physical location of the Honors Program office on the Fredericksburg Campus of the University of Mary Washington. The project was done for a professor at the University of Mary Washington as a final project in our Software Engineering.

The Web Application must allow students from anywhere with internet access to be able to view their program check sheet. It shall allow the students who are a part of the UMW Honors Program to view their progress per semester and see what requirements they have satisfied. The honors students shall be able to view announcements that are posted by the Honors Program administrator which allows the administrators to keep in touch with the students and up to date of any news from the Honors Program.

The administrators for the Honors Web Application shall be able to post announcements. Both administrators and students must be able to change their passwords and view the announcements. Administrators must be able to upload a CSV file for a particular student and it must update the student’s information. This should automatically create accounts for new students and update accounts for continuing students. Administrators must be able to access all of the student information by searching for them.

The project taught me more about how to work with your group members better. It also taught me more about Flask in general, the benefits of working with your group members at the same time, and that communication is essential when working in groups.

If I could do this project over again, I would have met up with my group members more face to face at the same time and try to work with them there. It would have saved us a lot of time and we could have finished our project early.
