A PROPOSED EXPERT SYSTEM FOR GUIDING FRESHMAN STUDENTS IN SELECTING A MAJOR IN AL-AZHAR UNIVERSITY, GAZA

In this paper we will present the design and development of a proposed expert system that aims to improve the method of selecting the best suitable faculty/major for student planning to be enrolled in Al-Azhar University. The basic idea of our approach is designing a model for testing and measuring the student capabilities like intelligence, understanding, comprehension, mathematical concepts and others, and applying the module results to a rule-based expert system to determine the compatibility of those capabilities with the available faculties/majors in Al-Azhar University. The result is shown as a list of suggested faculties/majors that are most suitable with the student capabilities and abilities.
