TecWiser, an Academic Advisory System

The transition phase from secondary school to higher education institutions is crucial for all students as they have to make excellent decision about what they wanted to do in the future. They have to decide what major courses that they have to pursue that are associated with career choices. This is due to the wrong choice of courses possesses significant impact on their future career. Besides, it is important for them to make a right choice of subject area based on their interest if they do not want to waste time and money on subjects that they have least interest. Therefore, an online academic advisory tool is needed especially for secondary school students to advice on possible courses to take. However, the system function will be narrowed down by only focusing one major area of study, which is Information Technology (IT). The system will help students to identify and test their aptitude in IT field and also help to suggest them the courses that they can pursue based on their interested program. If the student has interest in developing software development program, the system will list down the courses which associated with their interested program. Besides, if the students do not clearly understand what each program that are listed in the system is all about, the system will assist them with clear explanation regarding the program. Besides, the system will promote available online learning tools that the students can endeavor before they get into higher education institution. The system will be developed using development methodology based on Evolutionary Prototyping. This system will be further enhanced if it is necessary to meet the objective of this project
