Operational research model for the optimal programming of class schedules in the careers of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Machala

Abstract

In the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FCA) of the Technical University of Machala (UTMACH), at the beginning of each academic period, there are problems with the implementation of the schedules programmed by the academic coordination of the Careers of Aquaculture Engineering, Agricultural Engineering and Veterinary Medicine, these problems have to do with inadequacy of classrooms, programming of subjects in classrooms that do not meet the characteristics of both technical and pedagogical type and also the problem of the crossing of schedules, in this article it was possible to solve this problem by formulating a mathematical model based on the Linear Programming models on which Operational Research is based.
