Project: FaculType

FaculType is a desktop app for managing faculty members and their modules, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 11 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to delete existing modules.
    • What it does: Allows the user to delete existing modules in the module list.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product because it allows the user to remove modules as part of the module management capability of FaculType.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging because it required the use of module codes instead of the index number for deletion.
  • New Feature: Added a search function for modules.
    • What it does: Allows the user to search for modules by different parameters.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because it allows for more convenient management when there are a lot of modules involved.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation was challenging due to the different parameters involved. There was a need to make the search function focused but also flexible enough such that a more general search could be performed.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to match SubStrings.
    • What it does: Checks if a substring is part of a within a string, while ignoring the case of the strings.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product because it allows for a more flexible search option in find and findmod.
    • Highlights: This feature requires understanding of how to manipulate strings and the requirements of our search functions.
