Title
Sked: A Course Scheduling And Advising Software
Abstract
This article presents a software application that can solve the problem of course scheduling and advising. The employed algorithms offer optimal course scheduling outputs for any given set of courses and requirements, as well as allowing for customizations by advisors or students. if the correct set of requirements and departmental courses has been set, the results of the application can be directly used for registration purposes. The proposed software is thus capable of saving hours of time for advising faculty. Once the school specific data and requirements have been set, for any specific student information, the application will search and output the schedules that will allow the student to graduate fastest and in the least number of semesters/quarters possible. Depending on the factors and data considered, the execution time varies from a few seconds to a few minutes, Currently, we have successfully tested and implemented the application at the University of Bridgeport, CT.
