  The aim of attending an educational institution is learning, which in turn is
sought after for the reason of independence of thoughts, ideologies as well as
physical and material independence. This physical and material independence is
gotten from working in the industry, that is, being a part of the independent
working population of the country. There needs to be a way by which students
upon graduation can easily adapt to the real world with necessary skills and
knowledge required. This problem has been a challenge in some computer science
departments, which after effects known after the student begins to work in an
industry. The objectives of this project include: Designing a web based chat
application for the industry and computer science department, Develop a web
based chat application for the industry and computer science and Evaluate the
web based chat application for the industry and computer science department.
Waterfall system development lifecycle is used in establishing a system project
plan, because it gives an overall list of processes and sub-processes required
in developing a system. The descriptive research method applied in this project
is documentary analysis of previous articles. The result of the project is the
design, software a web-based chat application that aids communication between
the industry and the computer science department and the evaluation of the
system. The application is able to store this information which can be decided
to be used later. Awareness of the software to companies and universities,
implementation of the suggestions made by the industry in the computer science
curriculum, use of this software in universities across Nigeria and use of this
not just in the computer science field but in other field of study
