This course explores how databases are designed and implemented, with an emphasis on industrial and commercial applications. We focus on the relational database model and learn the mathematics of relational algebra and structured queries. Students will gain experience with a commercial database management system and will work in teams to design and implement a prototype database for a local organization. ``Student teams from an IEOR database design course recently placed their semester projects up for review before local technical gurus. The jury of engineering professors and industry representatives rated projects on the basis of creativity, database design, technical sophistication, functional richness, and user interface design.'' -- Tamar Laddy, UCB Engineering News, 1996. |
Registration for IEOR 115
NOTE: Due to the size of our laboratory, the class is limited to 40 students. All graduating IEOR seniors will be admitted. Others will be admitted as space permits. Since it's difficult to determine the numbers at registration time, we will give a simple entrance exam to all interested students. Don't worry about studying for this, it's not a test of knowledge but of eligibility and enthusiasm.
If you can't make the first week of classes, due to the CUE strike, we will give the entrance exam again on Wed Sept 4. After we review the entrance exams I'll give out course entry codes in class on Sept 9. I realize this is inconvenient but it's the only fair solution to a very stressful situation.
