Career Education Corporation Part 3 - Building a database

 
Aside from my teaching responsibilities at Harrington College they hired me to build a database for them. The database would be used by administrators for scheduling faculty members to classes. The database would contain all the classes having been taught by each instructor along with the classes they are capable of teaching. A table was needed for degrees held by each instructor and where they obtained their degrees. Room was needed for the professional certifications held by each instructor. Professional references could also be stored there. There would be a table consisting of each faculty members professional resumes in a pdf format along with contact information and mailing address.
The only reason I would even take on such an assignment would be to ingratiate myself to management. It was an awesome sign on their part when management offered me the job. I inferred they liked me, they trusted me and they could see me in the corporate picture in the foreseeable future.
I got paid for my efforts in creating the database then turned the database in for a class project in graduate school.  It's what I like to call a win win situation.
