The Design of The Alumni and Career Development Center (ACDC) Application at Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Medan

Abstract

One of the key indicators of higher education accreditation is the occupation of its alumni in the workforce. The Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Negeri Medan does not yet have a special forum that has the function of providing information on job opportunities for alumni and establishing cooperation with employers to integrate the system. Therefore, this study aims to design an Alumni and Career Development Center web-based application to connect the Business World and the Industrial World with alumni that can be accessed by alumni and employers online. The Agile Method, UML, the PHP scripting language, and the MariaDB database engine are used in designing the system. However, the system still needs to be improved in integrating the process of candidates' selection. Based on the testing data, the results indicate that the system is reliable enough to be implemented.
