COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To appreciate data as an important corporate resources and the need to manage the
data effectively and efficiently.
To learn the evolution of database systems and to appreciate the advantages of
database over file systems in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
To understand the basic concepts of database systems including data abstraction and
the three-level architecture; data independence; and data modeling.
To become familiar with the major data models including entity-relationship,
relational, and object-oriented models.
To learn both physical and logical database design methodologies and procedures.
To become familiar with at least one major database management system such as
Microsoft Access or Oracle.
To understand the functions of database administration including recovery, security,
integrity, access control, and concurrency management.
To be aware of the new trends in database technologies including data warehouse,
data mining, and the Internet databases.
To understand the social impact of the database technologies on privacy, security,
and other areas.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: Topics include data collection, representation,
modeling, and storage; file versus database approach to data management; database
3
environment; principles of logical and physical database design. Emphases are placed on
Entity-Relationship and relational data models. Other topics include client-server
environment; database security and integrity; database administration; and trends of
database technologies. A substantial project on the design and implementation of a
database will be assigned.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
a) Explain the motivation behind the data abstraction, the three-level database
architecture, and the concept of data independence.
b) Describe the theories including functional dependencies and normalization and
their consequences in database design.
c) Analyze major data models including the entity-relationship, the relational, and
object-oriented models.
d) Explain top-down database planning and bottom-up database design
methodologies and processes.
e) Design and implement a practical database that meets a specific set of criteria.
f) Describe the importance of ODBC or open database connectivity.
g) Explain the trends in database designs and applications, particularly the Web
based database systems.
h) Describe database administrative functions including recovery, concurrency,
security, and integrity.
i) Articulate how the proliferation of databases have raised concerns on security and
privacy.
Assessment of the above will be through: exams, homework, surveys, and projects.
In addition, through classroom participation and discussions, various homework,
term papers, lab projects, and other assignments, the course also reinforce the
following students learning outcomes of the university:
a) Effectively express themselves in written and oral form. Measure: exams,
homework and projects.
b) Demonstrate ability to think critically. Measure: exams, homework, and
projects.
c) Locate and use information. Measure: homework and projects.
d) Demonstrate ability to integrate knowledge and idea in a coherent and
meaningful manner. Measure: exams, homework, surveys, and projects.
e) Work effectively with others. Measure: larger projects.

9. Teaching methods (e.g., lecture, discussions, presentations, etc.)
a) Classroom lectures, discussions, and problem solving sessions
b) Homework reviews
c) Lab work
10. Course expectations:
a. Reading Assignments
Item 8 (above) addresses the reading schedule issue.
Spend at least two hours of time on reading and homework for every hour in class.
Weekends are review time above and beyond (independent of) this 2-for-1 rule.
b. Tentative timeline for submission of written assignments or other work
Projects will be collected as scheduled with a grace period of one week.
c. Attendance
Attendance will be recorded. Departmental guidelines require
that: 3 absences (2 for night) --- departmental warning letter
7 absences (4 for night) --- automatic failure in course
Only valid excuses (in writing) allay these consequences.
Attendance and success coincide.
d. Examinations (tentative dates, make-up policy, etc.)
All exams will be announced at least one full week in advance.
If you are absent on the day an exam is announced, you are responsible for finding out
about it from a fellow student or the professor. No make-up exams will be given except
for extraordinary circumstances.
Item 8 (above) addresses the examination schedule issue.
Final Exam. Period: Wednesday 12/19/2007 at 11:00AM - 1:30PM, T101B
e. Class participation
Bring the specified textbook to each class session.
Before lab sessions and lectures, read relevant text to optimize productivity.
11. Grading and other methods for assessing student academic performance:





6-8 periodic quizzes (as specified above in the “Topical Outline”)
The lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
If you miss a quiz, that is the one which is dropped.
Final examination is as scheduled by administration (date cited above).
Computation: Final Grade = Average of 6 Quizzes and Final (80%) +
Classwork/Homework/Projects (20%)
