Abstract
The current registration and payment processes for the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme is semiautomated if not completely manual. Students have to queue at the Student’s Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) unit of their institutions to carry out registration. Thereafter, students still have to wait for couple weeks before he or she could have access to placement letter. At the end of the industrial training exercise, students will have to join a long queue and cluster at the bursary unit of their institutions for days waiting for the disbursement of their stipends from Industrial Training Fund (ITF). This system is drudgery, crude, time consuming, error prone and inimical to the 21st century technological innovation. The aim of this work is to design and implement a web-based SIWES registration and repayment system for students, Institutional and SiWES based supervisors. The objective is to implement a database for storing the record of students on industrial training exercise; develop software that will ease supervision, student’s placement and ensure prompt payments of students and supervisors allowances to their respective accounts. This work adopted the Object Oriented Analysis & Design (OOAD) approach with the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM).
