【 摘 要 】

At the University of Louisville, there is no continuous and dependable connectionbetween the needs of the community for expert help in solving practical problems andthe capabilities of the students enrolled in cumulating experience courses. Culminatingexperience courses are designed to provide students with experience in real andpragmatic problem-solving situations. Connecting these courses with community needsnot only provides students with such experiences but also betters the community. Adatabase instituted on the University of Louisville website would be a regular andcontinuous medium for such connections to be made.In this research, a database created by computer engineering and computerscience students was populated and a user’s manual was created. This work describesthe extensive background of the situation and anticipated research benefits in additionto the database programming and population and the procedure for finding matches.The impacts of the implementation of this database would be invaluable. Oncethe database is made functional for Speed School courses, faculty members in the othercolleges at the University of Louisville could easily add their culminating experiencecourses. The database will allow continual and reliable community connections, thusfurthering the engagement of the university in the community.
