CourseSelectionTool

A course selection tool for UofT Engineering courses.

Data Format

data/course_db.json

The course database uses a normalized structure with course sets:

{
  "metadata": {
    "generated_at": "ISO8601 timestamp",
    "total_courses": 97
  },
  "courses": [
    {
      "code": "ECE244H1",
      "title": "Programming Fundamentals",
      "session": "F",
      "prerequisites": "ECE244H1_p1",
      "corequisites": null,
      "exclusions": null
    }
  ],
  "coursesets": {
    "ECE244H1_p1": {"courses": "APS105H1"}
  }
}

Course Sets: All requirements (prerequisites, corequisites, exclusions) reference course set IDs using the format {course_code}_{p|c|e}{number}. The actual course strings are stored in the coursesets section.

Operators:

• / = OR (any one course satisfies)
• & = AND (all courses required)

Example: "APS360H1_p1 & APS360H1_p2" means both course sets must be satisfied, where APS360H1_p1 might contain "APS105H1 / APS106H1" (either course works).

Running Locally

The frontend uses ES6 modules, which require a local server (they won't work via file://).

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000/src/ in your browser.
