Amna will be in charge of the first project that is the Interpersonal Skills and Self-Development course. This course is being given to undergraduate students in every semester of freshman level. The interpersonal skills and Self-Development course is critical especially to a freshman student who recently joined the university. The main objective of the course is the more developed student social skills the more chances to satisfactorily deal with the demands of different environments and interlocutors. That being the case the university should include interpersonal development as part of its academic goals. The course is required to be led by people who are knowledgeable in this field. For example, students success department as well as the center of teaching and learning which we believe that they can support and offer guidance to this project for the benefit of their students.

In this project, we decided to create a way that facilitates the student to access any category or department that he/she is looking for and get their contact information easily. So, the third prototype aims to ensure that students can easily reach any member of Khalifa University. Whether they need help from student services or instructors or even if they would like to contact older students to share their experiences. Besides, it appears for the student if that member is available or not. This idea is going to build as an App that only accessible to KU members. Which makes it easier for the students and instructors to reach it and secure at the same time.

To begin with this project, the idea should be presented to the Center for Teaching and Learning and see how it can be done, and check if there are any complications. As well as, getting the contact information from all university members and take their permission to added in the list. Then, the project requires support from the IT department and people who responsible for developing the Blackboard page to get the new tab added and accessible for the students and the instructors on Blackboard.
