Student course planning and advising at most at all universities is an important process to ensure students to fulfill the degree requirements of the university in a structured way and without encountering unnecessary and lengthy delays. United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is one such institution where student register courses with one of the most advanced and adequate registration systems however; students have faced problems because of a need of a proper advising system as well as a need of seeking proper advising. A Knowledge Based Course Planning System (KBCPS) software package is devised to suit the course planning needs of the Electrical Engineering Department, UAEU. The software is developed by using the Java computer programming language. The system guide students in selecting the most suitable from five to seven courses to register in the next and subsequent semesters. The outcome of the course selections for the next and all the remaining semesters is stored in a file to help students with the registration system.

“…The system's goals included minimization of repetitive tasks performed by advisors, encouragement of students to adopt a proactive attitude towards advising, make advising-related information available to remote students in a single place, and minimize inconsistencies in the advising process [8].…”

A Priority Based Course Planning System for Electrical Engineering Department

Abstract-To create successful students an effective academic advising and course planning program is necessitated. An academic advisor is a link between the student and the institution therefore good advising is critical to the long-term success of an institution. Course planning and advising are trivial processes to ensure students fulfill the degree requirements of an institution in an all-inclusive and structured way, and without encountering unnecessary delays. As experienced academic advisors are hard to find, therefore computer programs doing course planning and academic advising are becoming popular. The United Arab Emirates University is one such institution where students have faced problems due to lack of an appropriate advising system and experienced academic advisors. In this respect, a Priority Based Course Planning System (PBCPS) is devised. PBCPS software package is developed by using the JAVA programming language. The system helps and guide students in selecting appropriate courses for a specific semester. The outcome of the course selection of a subsequent semester is stored in a file to help in course registration.

“…It is an automated system with limited functionality and about a 20% error rate [5], [6]. The academics at the Florida Atlantic University developed a similar web-based advising system that supplemented the conventional advising process [7]. A Bayesian Network model for planning course registration and advising by using a data mining technique is developed to predict the sequences of courses to be registered by undergraduate students whose majors are computer science or engineering [8].…”

Abstract-Student course registration is an important as well as a trivial process that may encounter unnecessary graduation delays. Electrical Engineering Department of the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is one such place where students have faced problems such as, a lack of a proper advising system, awareness and experience of advisers, students' ability to seek good advice, inappropriate advising time schedules, etc. Students not advised fittingly may suffer with problems which may include, course selection with time conflicts, missing out on suitable courses for specific semesters, choosing electives bypassing track restrictions, selecting too many or less courses, selecting unnecessary and incorrect courses, etc. An Automated Course Advising System (ACAS) is devised to guide students in selecting appropriate courses suitable to register online with the Banner System. ACAS software is developed by using JAVA computer programming language. The system is easily operated and the outcome of the course selection is stored to show a complete typical plan.
