cuScheduling

An example form filled in with course codes

Inspiration

Are you not in engineering? Do you have the bittersweet luxury of making your own schedule? Our inspiration comes from the frustration we had making our schedules last summer.

What it does

cuScheduling is a local server-hosted program that allows you to input the courses you're taking, and presents you with the best time table(s) that fit the bill!

How we built it

Amazingly we were able to divide the project into 3 separate projects that seamlessly worked together on the first try. Just kidding. Although we were able to divide the code into a front end interface, data webscraping, and back end data processing all in python.

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to use new modules and services on the fly. We made use of flask, mechanicalsoup, urllib, requests, and a few new tricks we had to learn!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning all the new API's and experimenting with new languages. The webscraping and Flask web server creation was particularly enjoyable. While we're not certain it will replace CU Learn yet, we are still very proud.

I worked with MechanicalSoup to create the webscraper that fetches the Lecture and Tutorial information and served it to the backend.

I managed the GitHub repo, and was involved in the algorithm design and implementation of the backend.

Max Dobrei
I worked in the backend. I was worked on analyzing the data retrieved from the webscraper.

I was responsible for front end, UX/design and the flask web server... we almost made a server to run our server at one point
