Abstract
Mav Degree Planner is a web-based application aiming to assist UTA Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) students to create their degree planners that best fit their academic path. The website provides a user-friendly interface by taking advantage of the drag-and-drop functionality to simplify the degree planning process.
Background
The reason behind taking up this project is that the current UTA degree planner is not user-friendly nor does it give users an interactive environment to easily choose their classes. Users need to be able to easily choose classes to plan out their classes to finish their degree in a timely manner. The best way to do that is to eliminate any confusion while users plan it out. This is why we chose this project, since as students we also understand the need for a proper degree planner, which checks if prerequisites are met, lets the user know if they’re missing something, and overall an easy User Interface to plan out the classes. Moreover, as former freshman students, we understand the confusion that there may be in knowing what classes to take this semester and finding the flowchart hard to follow, therefore, the goal of this app is to aid the needs of these new students and give them a solid idea of how to plan out their four-year degree, and give them the confidence as they would know that they are on track.
