Resumo:
The most relevant factor in the modern education system is the human being. For this
reason, universities should be kept very well organized and prepared to meet the recent
education changes. Moreover, an incessant concern with the improvement of the quality of
their services is mandatory.
The process of candidates' admission (which involves a considerable amount of
data) and the management of information related to academic issues calls for a very reliable
tool in order to keep that database as organized and updated as possible. Universitas (a private
university in Itajubá) can be quoted as an institution that experiences several problems related
to the process of admission due to the fact that its process still depends on some hand-made
procedures. Therefore, the main goal of this work is to develop a computational tool that
automates the whole process of admission.
The software package was developed based on concepts of academic
administration, software engineering, object-oriented techniques and Unified Modeling
Language - UML. It has been installed and tested at Universitas. Its evaluation process and the
main conclusions of this work can be found herein.
