ABSTRACT

 This project examines the general and well-established research into the timetable scheduling problem. The very real need to optimize timetable construction from a practical perspective has driven and provided funding for an extensive research activity resulting in a very well developed and ongoing research literature. This aim at designing, developing and implementing automated departmental course allocation and time table for Computer science department. The primary objectives are to be able to optimize the algorithm used in today's timetable systems to generate the best of timetabling data with fewer or no clashes. The main objective is to convert a manually operated system into automated system. Designing a system that will be more interactive to students and lecturers, Provide an automatic system that will reduce the work load of staff especially the HODs, the research will also serve as a source of information to students, lecturers and computer science researchers who would want to engage in such topic, the Automation of Departmental course their credit Unit Allocation and departmental time table, provide quicker and more efficient services (course allocation) using automated system (computer). The adopted research methodology for this project Automated Depa tniental Course Allocation and Time Table system is the waterfall model. The waterfall model is a popular version of the systems development life cycle model for software engineering
