Abstract
This thesis documents the mechanization of Computer
Systems Management course selection and scheduling. It
examines the factors that complicate academic scheduling and
reviews the major problems associated with the current
system.
Alternative decision support system techniques to
consolidate and integrate scheduling data were examined for
potential implementation problems. Solutions to those problems
became design objectives. The scheduling software was
developed using the software engineering methodology. A
prototype program was distributed to selected users and the
final program was modified based on their feedback.
The program custodian should control the program by
making it available through a centralized media such as an
electronic bulletin board. Future enhancements to this
program should include expansion of the database, conversion
to a database language and development of a microcomputer
version.
