SMU IITS - Teaching Load Management System

TAKEN

Introduction SMU has over 350 full-time faculty and over 250 adjunct faculty that teach in the various programmes both at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels offered by its six schools. Full-time faculty are required to teach a certain number of courses each year and adjunct faculty are contracted to teach specific courses. The number of sections in a course that adjunct faculty teach varies from one faculty to another. Each year, administrators in all schools manage the teaching load requirement and allocation of faculty (matching the demand and supply). This is a major resource allocation exercise that has various rules, constraints and timelines.

We invite you to apply to work on this project; in addition to meeting the objectives of the IS480 course, you will have an opportunity to learn about resource planning and allocation models and techniques with the use of technology, especially teaching load allocation at your university and to contribute to SMU through your efforts.

Background There is a need for a scalable, comprehensive and integrated Teaching Load Management System (TLMS) to serve the University’s needs in the area of faculty teaching load management.

The current tracking, allocation and consolidation of faculty teaching loads are done using Excel spreadsheets and emails. This is both tedious and time consuming with a high potential for errors. There is also a challenge in tracking teaching commitments of faculty beyond their own schools. Currently, data needed for analysis and planning is not available in a uniform and timely manner across schools.

Objectives

  • To implement a simple, comprehensive and integrated system to ease the management of faculty teaching loads and course allocations;
  • To increase the productivity of school administrative staff, Area Coordinators, Programme Directors, Assistant and Associate Deans, the PGPP Office and the Provost’s Office through process automation;
  • To enable better coordination with University administration (PG offices, Provost Office, Office of Human Resources & Faculty Administration and Office of Finance) i.e. a single point of reference for all stakeholders; and
  • To support future recruitment planning with timely reports and analytics from historical data and information.

Requirements

  • Required: Web application development/programming using Microsoft ASP.NET on .NET Framework 4.5.2
    • Language: C#.NET
    • Database: SQL Server 2012
    • Server: Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8.5’
  • Intuitive user interface to capture (including upload), maintain and manage the following:
    • Course and programme details (UG/PGPP/PGR),
    • Faculty details
    • Faculty teaching load
    • Course and sections demand for new Academic Year
    • Teaching allocations
  • Robust and scalable application and database design to cater to new programmes
  • Reporting and export of data to SMU Corporate systems
  • Authentication and authorization
  • Workflow, email notifications and rules to process and automate the allocations and approvals

Skills sets

  • Required: Web application development/programming
  • Preferred: Business Process Improvement, Data Analytics

Ulink Assist – Automating personalised follow-ups to capture lifetime patient value

TAKEN

Background

  •  Ulink Assist arranges over 1000 medical appointments a year for foreign patients
    • Recommend doctors according to the patient’s condition
    • Car transfers, accommodation arrangements, documentation for insurance claims, etc.
  •  For each car
    • We make appointments for patient at preferred hospital
    • Patient undergoes treatment/consult in Singapore (assistance provided by Ulink if requested)
    • Patient returns to home country
  •  Ulink currently does not have a system to follow up with the patient after they return to their home country
  •  Healthcare management is a lifelong journey and applies not only to the patient but their family members as well
    • Pull: Ulink misses out on a lot of potential cases (for eg: when a foreign mother gives birth in Singapore, it is likely that she might plan to have another child)
    • Push: make former clients aware of new types of medical treatment/medicines that suitable for them
    • The question is how can Ulink establish this lifetime relationship with the patient?

Objective Come up with an automated system to follow-up with patients

  • After each visit to Singapore and over their lifetimes
  • Ulink’s team is prompted at the appropriate time
  • Ensure that sending each follow-up is easy
  • Each follow-up is personal and personalised for that specific client

Possible approaches

  1. Identify the different healthcare milestones for a typical person over the course of his life
    1. This could help with determining the appropriate time to follow up with the patient
  2. Setting up a customer relationship system to keep track of each patient’s healthcare milestones
    1. This might help save time for employees
  3. Create a follow-up template for employees to use
  4. Automated system that generates a follow-up in the approved template (with fields already populated) and sends it to Ulink employee. Employee then checks it and sends it off to client

Background When a patient sees a healthcare provider (doctor/nurse), one of the first things we need to do to determine if the patient is potentially stable or unstable is to take the vital signs of the patient (in addition to obtaining the presenting complaint(s) from the patient). These are the usual standard vital signs that are commonly taken :

  • Respiratory rate
  • Oxygen saturation – through the SpO2
  • Heart/pulse rate
  • Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic)
  • Temperature

An unstable patient is someone that may require acute stabilization and the measures we usually undertake can be broadly based on the ABC prioritization – A= Airway / B=Breathing / C= Circulation. As surrogate measures, the above vital signs can be ‘mapped’ to ABC : respiratory rate and oxygen saturation = A & B ; Heart/pulse rate and Blood pressure = C.

Vital Signs in Children In children, monitoring of these vital signs is currently done manually (except in the ICU setting when the patient is relatively immobile and very sick) and depending on the acuity of the patient, monitoring of the vital signs is done every 1 hour to 4 hourly. In children, respiratory rate, heart/pulse rate and blood pressures vary with the age of the child – the respiratory and heart/pulse rates are normally higher the younger the child while the blood pressure is normally lower the younger the child.

Requirements To develop a web application using D3JS as visualisation layer to retrieve and display the above mentioned vital signs of the patients collected via wearables. The integrated vital signs monitoring system and focus on enhancing or establishing the following attributes :

  • Remote and continuous tracking of the vital signs
  • Make the integrated sensor system run on a wireless platform
  • Build a simple algorithm (to be provided during project implementation) into the integrated sensor system to alert doctors and nurses when the ranges of the vital signs (based on the age of the child) is breached
  • Allow a backend data collection system for data analytics and display of real-time dashboards for the doctors and nurses on the ground.

Basic features include:

  • Device Management (associating wearable ID with patient ID)
  • Authentication & Authorization (using OpenLDAP)
  • Dashboard & reporting
  • Rules engine (e.g. for definition of rules for triggering alerts, using Oozie)

Front-end IoT platform project

ON HOLD

Background With a yearly turnover above € 1.2 trillion in 2011, the European construction sector, including its extended value chain (e.g. material and equipment manufacturers, construction and service companies), is the largest European single activity (10% of GDP) and the biggest industrial employer. Energy efficiency guideline 2012/27/EU:

  • 20% savings on primary energy usage at 2020
  • 50% savings on primary energy usage at 2050

In Singapore, the BCA Green Mark Scheme was launched in January 2005 as an initiative to drive Singapore's construction industry towards more environment-friendly buildings. Benefits of BCA Green Mark include:

  • Facilitate reduction in water and energy bills

VWO - Make a difference

About VWO project Want a rewarding project that can make a difference in people's life?

Ideas You can wait for some VWO to propose a project, or you can propose one with a VWO.

Last term, team Creovate won the IS480 Best Value for Sponsor award. More importantly, they made a difference in someone else's life.

"Just one small example....as I was having lunch in Little India this week, I met one of the workers I'm assisting. He reported confusion at MOM about whether they recognised that he had discharged a lawyer handling his injury claim. On my hp, I could bring up the lawyer discharge letter and email it out again to both the lawyer and MOM. Very powerful and helpful to have such capability on my hp at any time and place." - TWC2 Project Sponsor Dr. Pat Meyer

Self Proposed - Innovative Idea

About Self Proposed project Have a great idea? You can proposed your own project. Start with a problem, a real problem. Don't start with a solution or a technology. Think about it. Pitch it to your friends, IIE entrepreneurs corners, and write up a 2 page about your idea. You want a well baked idea, not an idea you taught about yesterday or half baked version with lots of holes.

Another reason for proposing your own project. Why work for anyone?

Requirement

  1. Submit a 2 page writeup to course coordinator.
  2. Get a mentor. More info here. If there are enough teams proposing their own projects, the course coordinator will schedule a pitch session.
  3. Start working on your project.

IFS Capital – Credit Risk Interface Project

REMOVED

About IFS Capital We are a mainboard-listed financial services company providing capital solutions to small and medium enterprises since 1987. Through our insurance subsidiary, we also offer products like general insurance, credit insurance, bonds and guarantees.  We are looking at creating a full-fledged credit approval workflow system that will integrate with a SAN storage on the backend which will serve as a digital archive for client documentation. Our aim is to leverage suitable technology to achieve a lean re-engineering of this segment of our client value stream. Intuitive user experience, robustness of the system and ease of maintenance are important to us.

Project Brief

  • Agile development of an application which will help the company automate the entire credit approval process from origination to final approval or rejection.
  • Users will enter credit request and attach supporting materials which will be routed to selected approvers for comments and decision.
  • An audit trail will be generated documenting each step of the process.
  • Case documents are to be routed automatically to a Document Management System upon approval and be search-able by company.
  • Access control rights by user or department must be available and the system should integrate with an active directory to achieve this via a single sign-on.
  • System will also be used by staff overseas via the internet which the developer should take into consideration when designing the system e.g. to ensure that that the system is robust enough to withstand the common loopholes hackers exploit like SQL injection.
  • Reporting Module
    • Online reports should be available to show the whole process trail from inception to approval/rejection.
    • Statistics of cases approved, rejected, credit grades, time taken by each user/department should be available on the fly.

Key Technologies

  • Web Application Development
  • Workflow and APIs
  • Database Design and Conceptualization

Requirements

  • Familiarity with common work flow concepts/products
  • HTML5 / CSS
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • We are open to suggestions if other technologies are preferred instead of the above

Requirements

  • A complete working system with the relevant documentation.
