Executive Summary
This project aims to solve the problems that students face with regards to listening, writing and speaking of English. Typically, students' speaking and listening skills are very weak, which make professors to face challenges in communicating effectively with students. Moreover, English deficiency of some students makes native speakers to spend more time with non-native speakers when there is a group project. More importantly, many students face hard time in improving their English for professional, academic and personal purposes. The overall effects include projects' misunderstanding, personal- assignment time delay, and low academic performances that lead to low GPA for students. The project attempts to solve the problems by providing more opportunities for students to interact with native speakers in the university and local community using the webpage format. The strategy will improve their academic experience within the university campus. The other solution to the problems is that the English Language Institute is to validate the English proficiency of non-native English speakers who have currently enrolled in the university programs. This project is to use the English Language Institute to track students' information, their grades, and their register classes. The audience of the project includes Students, Professor, and Departmental Dean. The project also tracks the information of the Professors, their assigned classes, and students' grade. More importantly, the project will track the approved budget of the English Language Institute, the budget report and report on Departmental Dean. Finally, the project will be used to track the activities of accounting department that include professor's salary, tuition fees, taught classes, and registered class hours. The project's non-functional requirements are designed to enhance easy and friendly use for all web-page users.

The writer will then be ready to write a first draft where the outline is expanded into paragraphs (Introduction to technical writing/documentation) and a glossary of terms is created (The technical writing process). The writer will then revise the first draft, including checking for completeness and accuracy, checking that writing is clear and concise, proofreading with spelling and grammar checks, reviewing mechanics such as abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms expansion
The individual propeller blades are aerodynamic in that their leading edges are teardrop-shaped from the horizontal plane in their direction of travel when the shaft is rotating. In effect, each propeller blade is a miniature air foil designed to maximize air pressure underneath the wing by creating a velocity differential between the air passing over and above the wing, respectively. In principle, the teardrop-shaped or laminar-flow wing is a technological
Business Requirements Document Miller Inc. looks forward to creating a data repository for all data collected that is beyond the current relational database it currently uses. The company has currently outgrown the relational database in Oracle that it currently uses. Though it enables data to be stored in different tables that can be linked together using record keys, the amount of keys and records makes it difficult to operate a standard
Agile has transitioned from being a development tool to a means to compete and drive another team into conformance with a competing team's agenda. This is a prime example of how product development environments can turn into a dysfunctional control system. As senior management, above the project leaders, looks at a literally seventy to one hundred projects a month in reviews, all they have time to see are the
(Heal and Rusch, 1995) In a separate study entitled: "Improving graduation and employment outcomes of students with disabilities" Predictive factors and student perspectives" Benz, Lindstrom, and Yovanoff (2000) report findings from two studies that examined secondary and transition practices. The first of the two studies made an examination of students factors as well as program factors that served to predict the graduation of participants with a standard high school diploma
From that vantage point it is clear that ERP systems may not be able to provide the depth and breath of unification that is possible with more advanced approaches to using it systems. Another drawback or con of using ERP systems has the catalyst of creating a more unified socio-technical system is the fact that they are often implemented and measured on a department or functional basis first. Interpolating their
