Mechanical Engineering has a tool that schedules classes for students based on what they’ve taken. It uses prerequisite and lower/upper division rules. Steve McNeill wrote it and could tell more. Besides facilitating semester advisement for students, Steve can predict how many students will be advised for individual classes in the future. This makes it easier to schedule the right number of sections and/or class size. If we had a tool like this for the College, we could tell the Math department things like “about 350 of our students will need MATH 142 next semester” in advance, hopefully in time to recruit qualified instructors.
