In order to schedule the classes, a famous engineering school, Mero College of Engineering (MCE) in Dauramandu, needs to know about courses that can be offered, instructors and their availability, audio/visual equipment requirements for particular courses, and class rooms. From the list of courses, the courses that can be scheduled are selected in the scheduling process. For each of these courses, one ot more classes are scheduled, swhich are called sections of the same class, The problem of schedulers is to assign classes to instructors, rooms and time slots. The schedulers are constrained by the reility that (a) some courses cannot conflict because many students take them during the same semester, (b) instructors cannot be in two places at the same time, (c) rooms cannot be double-booked.
