I. Description

For the final project, our team developed a database for the Center for Food Innovation
and Entrepreneurship in the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. This
department, commonly referred to as CFIE, was founded in 1973 and has a main purpose of
educating students on modern business practices related to food and agriculture. The CFIE has
successfully guided over 650 students into management positions in food and agribusiness firms
and government agencies around the world.

We have designed and implemented a database for CFIE that will foster conducive
research to enhance the departments understanding of food insecurity, food waste, food
innovation, and urban agriculture. This database will support the center’s operations by
organizing the departments relationships and past research in order to effectively continue to
conduct research in an efficient manner. By creating a centralized database management system
for the department, it will allow easier access to information for all of the employees. This will
provide the department with the opportunity to work more efficiently and allocate more time to
developing different aspects of the company.

CFIE provides programs for students, alumni, and companies. Each student has a student
ID, name, major, and phone number. Alumni are identified by alumni ID, name, the degree they
obtained at SCU, and the year they graduated. Each company has a company ID, name, and
industry they’re in. CFIE also has many staff members that have a staff ID, name, title, and
address.

The center is divided into four main programs: education, research & initiatives, events,
and immersive study trips. Programs are identified by program ID, name, and type of program.
Education is distinguished by enrichment programs. Students can be involved in many programs
related to their education in order to advance with their career. Enrichment programs are a part of
education made up of internship opportunities, a mentor program, and industry treks. Industry
treks delivers custom educational programs to companies. These programs can be for a single
day or a week and can be on campus or at the company site. Research & Initiatives​ ​are
distinguished by four topics: food and agriculture, food insecurity, food waste, and urban
agriculture. Santa Clara University has many different ways of finding and using research, as
well as initiatives it is involved in, for each part. CFIE also hosts immersive study trips that take
around 12 students and 1 or 2 faculty members to learn about business in a developing country.

VI. Practical Database applications

A. Immersive Study Trip Overview

This view of the tables uses the Immersion location and dates to identify the names of the
students and staff members that did attend or will attend the immersion trip. This is a useful
application to the organization because it will show them a combination of the Staff Immersion
Attendance table, the Student Immersion Attendance table, the Immersive Study Table, the
Student table and the Staff table. This specific view displays the names of the staff and students
that have attended the immersion trip to Ghana.

CREATE VIEW​ ImmersiveStudyTripOverview_V ​AS

SELECT​ StaffName, StudentName, Country, ImmersionDate
FROM​ StudentImmersionAttendance_T, StaffImmersionAttendance_T,
ImmersiveStudy_T, Student_T, Staff_T
WHERE​ ImmersiveStudy_T.IProgramID =
StudentImmersionAttendance_T.IProgramID
AND​ ImmersiveStudy_T.IProgramID =
StaffImmersionAttendance_T.IProgramID
AND​ Student_T.StudentID = StudentImmersionAttendance_T.StudentID
AND​ Staff_T.StaffID = StaffImmersionAttendance_T.StaffID
AND​ Country = 'Ghana'

B. Alumni Employment Trends

By combining the alumni and company tables into one, it will allow the CFIE to identify trends
in companies, industries, and degrees to help better structure the educational programs to prepare
students to thrive in their career after university. By understanding the degrees alumni obtained
and seeing which companies they work at, CFIE can create more opportunities for current
students. It will take the degree obtained from the alumni table, the industry and company name
from the company table, and the alumni ID and Company ID from the alumni employer table.

CREATE VIEW​ AlumniEmploymentTrends_V ​AS

SELECT​ DegreeObtained, CompanyName, Industry
FROM​ Alumni_T, Company_T, AlumniEmployer_T
WHERE​ Alumni_T.AlumniID = AlumniEmployer_T.AlumniID
AND​ Company_T.CompanyID = AlumniEmployer_T.CompanyID
GROUP BY​ Industry, DegreeObtained, CompanyName
 11

C. Student Major Involvement in Enrichment Programs

This view of the tables uses the major from the student table with the EProgramID of the
enrichment program type to display the type of education certain majors are getting. This will
help the organization identify which majors are participating in enrichment programs to adapt the
type of programs they provide and better satisfy the demand.

CREATE VIEW​ StudentMajorInvolvementInEnrichmentPrograms_V ​AS

SELECT​ Student_T.StudentID, Major, EnrichmentProgramType ​as
EducationType
FROM​ Student_T, StudentEducationalProgramInvolvement_T,
Education_T
WHERE​ Student_T.StudentID =
StudentEducationalProgramInvolvement_T.StudentID
AND​ Education_T.EProgramID =
StudentEducationalProgramInvolvement_T.EProgramID
GROUP BY​ EnrichmentProgramType, Student_T.StudentID, Major
