This project is an assessment task for Monash University’s Introduction to Software Engineering (FIT1010) unit. SES stands for “Student Enrolment System”, a command-line interface designed to simulate the administration and management of students, units and courses within a university.

The goal of this project is to understand good software engineering practices under the Unified Process, and to better understand the Object-Oriented Programming paradigm.

• CourseAdmin.py, the main file that presents the command-line interface onscreen options
• Enrolment.py, contains all the methods required to complete tasks in the SES
• Validate.py, a module used to validate user input
• menuValidation.py, a module used to navigate the command-line interface
• University.py, the University class that contains the database of students, units and courses
• Courses.py, the Course class that initialises for every new instance of a course object
• Units.py, the Unit class that initialises for every new instance of a unit object
• Student.py, the Student class that initialises for every new instance of a student object

To start, run CourseAdmin.py in a python-enabled command line interface. If you’re using SHELL (like in the Mac OS X Terminal), open it in folder these files are located in, and run:

python3 CourseAdmin.py

Before you begin, a course needs to be created. To do this, go to Main Menu → Courses Menu → Create Course and follow the prompts.

To create a new unit, under the Main Menu, go to Units Menu → Create Unit, and follow the prompts.

To add a student to the university system, under the Main Menu, go to Students Menu → Create Student, and follow the prompts as necessary. (Note: a course must have already been created before adding a student to the university system).

Under the Main Menu, go to Students Menu → Enroll Student, and follow the prompts as needed.

In the Main Menu go to the Units Menu → Filter Search students in unit. Here, you can select to see undergraduate/postgraduate students, international/domestic students and full-time/part-time students within a particular unit.

In the Main Menu go to the Courses Menu → Filter Search students in unit. Here, you can select to see undergraduate/postgraduate students, international/domestic students and full-time/part-time students within a particular course.
