Guiding Course Selection via Degree Evaluation Optimization
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project introduces two new integer linear programs (ILP) to assist students with course selection. These ILPs use novel mathematical constructs, such as "collections" of courses that may always be interchanged. The first integer linear program minimizes the additional credits needed for degree completion, and the second increases flexibility. Additionally, degree completion rules are modeled with a framework that captures the "real-world" complexity and is sufficiently standardized to be adapted to a user interface. Computational experiments demonstrate the potential of the model to identify efficient schedules and perform ``what-if" analysis. The modeling proposed by this project has the potential to be extended to a visual tool that assists students with choosing effective schedules.
