Abstract

At the IT department, King Abdulaziz University (KAU) wants to improve two aspects related with the students. First one is the improvement of the student's access to work; and the second one is the student's adaptation to the first course with training classes on the summer period. Thus, it is improved their adaptation to the university methodology and the contents which the student doesn’t have a minimum necessary for the department are reinforced. Usually these contents correspond to first course subjects, and directly not associated to the computer science scope, but to the mathematics and linguistic scope. For it, the university wants implant an information system which goal is the curriculum improvement of the students to include them to the work world and their course beginning. This offers the possibility of to realize tests to the students of technologic secondary education and the students of professional formation centers. With the obtained data analysis at the level tests and with the student reports filled by teachers of secondary education centers, the professional team can establish the subject contents of the first course to attend to whole group of students. Also they can be useful to the students can opt to a training course to access to the university similar to the training course of the formative cycles. At this course, are included subjects of the science family, but it would be good for the students to add reinforcement subjects, which are useful for students to achieve the necessary level to begin the university career. During the university studies period, through the subject goals and contents, the teachers and the university will be able to improve the students’ curriculum through a monitoring. That the orientation department through could realize monitoring promotes reinforcement activities in seminaries and work groups. When students finish their studies, the orientation department could establish a recommendation to the student to continue with his studies with superior formation (specialization Masters, research studies..). Also it could be useful to the student insertion to the work world in base to his curriculum through the communication with the companies and the Ministry of Work.
