Laboratory Exercise

System Definition
Objectives:
At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:

identify a system type.

Materials:

Attachment A.pdf

Basic Principle:
This exercise aims to involve the students in the actual analysis and design of information systems. The
project would also entail developing the logical and physical design of the system to be developed.
Students are required to prepare a complete analysis, design and implementation documentation, develop
a prototype of the proposed system and undergo a presentation before a panel as part of the project
requirements.

Procedures:
1. The students must form a group composed of a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4)
members.
2. Give each student a copy of Attachment A.pdf, to be used as their reference for all the laboratory
exercises for this semester.
3. Ask each group to think of a proposed system type. Students may use any of the following:
a. Any System Development (Computerization) Work
Transaction Processing Systems
Payroll System
Inventory System
Library System
Enrollment System
Accounting System
Patient Information and Billing System
Others
Note: The proponents of a group must choose an organization where they will conduct
requirements and problem analysis on its existing system and propose an improved system.
4. Give the students time to discuss with their group.
5. Ask each group to write the following in a sheet of paper and to submit it to the instructor.
a. Group name
b. Group members
c. Type of proposed system
6. Advise the students that they may utilize the library to research about their chosen system from old
materials/thesis or they can go to other schools to look for more references, provided that they
have a recommendation letter on hand signed by their instructor.
7. Ask the student to create a letter of proposal that will be given to the company to which they will
conduct their project.
8. Give each group time to search for a prospect company that will be the subject for their proposed
system.
9. Ask each group to submit a copy of a company background of their chosen company for their
proposed system on their next session.
