  applications, have one key component--the database. Applications that interact 
  with the database represent one of the prime assets of all strong businesses. 
 The Database Application Development and Design (DADD) track focuses on 
  the challenges involved in designing, developing, and implementing these applications 
  and their database systems.  Students entering this track are required to have a working knowledge of Windows 
  NT, including: 
  Windows Explorer file management utility basic DOS commands and configuration files popular Windows applications (Word, Excel, etc.).  Students in the DADD track obtain a view of the complete software development 
  life cycle, which transforms a set of business needs into a full, working database 
  application using object-oriented and structured techniques for design and implementation. 
 Through lectures and extensive laboratory sessions, students implement database 
  application solutions using leading-edge software development products and the 
  Oracle Database Server.  Upon graduating from this track, students emerge with a strong skill set in 
  the use of application development tools, languages (SQL, Java, and PL/SQL), 
  and database design techniques.  Graduates of the DADD track hold positions as:  
  application developers procedural database programmers systems analysts database administrators database architects    |
