Abstract

This paper describes the approach used to teach the database course to undergraduate majors. The curriculum is structured to provide two courses in sequence to teach the database technology to both the computer science (CS) and information systems (IS) majors in an integration-driven Oracle environment. In a team-oriented approach, a comprehensive project is tackled by beginning with part project at the introductory database level, which culminates in the integration of the whole project at the advanced database level. There is strong evidence, especially from the student evaluation, that the approach has resulted in better acquisition of database concepts and practice.
