AN APPLICATION OF INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING TOWARDS UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA TERENGGANU COURSE SCHEDULING PROBLEM

University Course Timetabling (UCT) problem is a combinatorial optimization in which set of events has to be scheduled timeslots and located suitable room by considering all the constraint involved. A feasible timetable plays an important role ensuring tasks or are carried out appropriately. However, producing one not easy task due its large data size variety requirements In this research, mathematical model using Mixed Integer Linear Programming applied for university course timetabling problem. To validate MILP model, from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Academic Management Department obtained. The consists 27 programmes, 1261 classes 265 core courses, 59 venues 50 timeslots. Advanced Interactive Multidimensional Modelling System (AIMMS) software with CPLEX solver used as tool solve model. research showed that developed applicable An optimized solution achieved fulfils preferences users outcome would indirectly assist administrative staff who will charge effective university.
