📌 Proposal Title

Student Graduation Progress Tracker

🎯 Target Audience

NTHU students, academic advisors, and administrators.

💡 Problem Statement

Students currently lack an overview of their academic progress toward graduation. A tracker is needed to show completed credits vs. required credits across categories (e.g., PE, GE, Major), with the flexibility to adapt for custom paths (e.g., dual degrees).

🔍 Description & Implementation

The Graduation Progress Tracker will display a categorized breakdown of credits earned vs. required for each graduation category. It will include:

• Credit Progress: Visual indicators (e.g., progress bars) for each category and overall progress.
• Graduation Prediction: A projected graduation timeline based on completed and planned courses.
• Customization: Options for students to adjust requirements based on unique programs like dual degrees.

UI Layout:

• Header: Displays student name, degree path, and estimated graduation date.
• Progress Bars: For each credit category (PE, GE, Major) and overall progress.
• Customization Panel: Enables students to adjust requirements or select predefined paths.

User Flow:

• Access tracker from profile ➔ view categorized credits ➔ customize requirements (if needed) ➔ receive graduation timeline updates.

Technical Details:

• Data Source: Pulls from the course database, categorizing completed courses automatically.
• Customization Logic: Templates to support unique degree paths, adjustable for individual needs.

📈 Expected Outcomes

1. Improved Progress Tracking: Students can easily monitor credits and identify missing requirements.
2. Advisor Efficiency: Quick access to student progress details.
3. Adaptability: Custom paths support unique academic plans, improving flexibility for students.
