UWEC Schedule Builder

This tool enables UWEC planners to assemble term schedules for classes, events, and room bookings by collecting sessions, durations, capacities, rooms, and constraints, then generating a feasible timetable with assigned rooms. It targets department schedulers, instructors, and facilities staff who must coordinate resources across multiple buildings. The system emphasizes reproducible outputs and reliable data export for academic records.

Conceptually, users specify inputs such as date ranges, session counts, durations, room features, and availability windows; the tool then applies constraint satisfaction logic to assign sessions to times and rooms while observing buffers and capacity requirements. Outputs include a structured timetable and an export-ready dataset that can feed campus calendars or ERP systems.

Unique value comes from UWEC-centric constraint templates, multi-resource awareness (rooms, equipment, and instructors), and a deterministic, auditable scheduling process. It supports scenario comparison to evaluate alternative room allocations or timeslot distributions, aiding decision-making for complex semesters or event spikes.

Core features center on conflict detection, room assignment, utilization reporting, and data export to CSV or ICS formats. Typical use cases include standard class timetabling, cross-listed sections, event scheduling, and reserved-room planning across campuses or buildings.
