| Abstract | In screening and evaluating the background of applicants for careers in data processing, a considerable emphasis is placed on the ability of the applicant to work as a member of a team. This is because many required skills in data processing, specifically in the commercial environment, can only be obtained through individual work as a member of a team. This paper focuses on a method for simulating the business data processing environment through class project teams. The simulation is demonstrated through a discussion of the process of selecting the teams and projects, the frequent problems faced by team members, the background knowledge required, and the methods used in evaluating the projects.The benefits that can be derived by taking the programming team approach to the design and implementation of computer systems have been widely discussed in the literature [1, 2, 3]. This approach is receiving increasing attention in the commercial environment [4]. In addition, several new system design techniques [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] are becoming increasingly popular and the ideas of structured programming [10, 11, 12] are widely known. We feel, therefore, that an important part of the preparation for a career in information processing should include participation as a member of a programming and design team.In this paper we demonstrate the methods that we have used to create a project team environment in the classroom. These methods are based on our commercial experience and experience gained from conducting such classes for a combined total of seven semesters. Overall, the projects resulting from these team efforts have been of high quality and the students' reactions have been very favorable. The students from these courses that sought careers in data processing were able to find jobs rapidly. They have been highly successful in their careers.In interviews with our graduates they indicated that the experiences they gained from the project team classes were main factors in obtaining employment and the success they achieved in their work. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
