HASS Pathways

Netlify Status

Project Details

This project was developed to help students navigate through Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's newly designed HASS (humanities, arts, and social sciences) curriculum--effective for the class of 2023 and beyond--which requires students to take part in an integrated pathway. The HASS Integrative Pathways were created to enhance students' HASS Core curriculum by bringing intentionality and depth to the requirements. The themes of the pathways vary in their intentionality; some are interdisciplinary, while others focus on a single discipline, providing students with significant options for their coursework. In addition to providing a more in-depth focus to the HASS Core, many Integrative Pathways can be transformed into minors with relative ease.

Information in regards to the goals of the pathways include:

  • An Integrative Pathway provides consistency to what could otherwise be an unfocused array of courses in the HASS Core
  • An Integrative Pathway augments intellectual coherence to course selection in the form of disciplinary or interdisciplinary themes
  • An Integrative Pathway can enhance or enrich a major. For example, a Computer Science major following the Artificial Intelligence pathway or a Biomedical Engineering major following the Public Health pathway

Developer Information

Frontend Setup

  • Clone the repository to your computer
  • Install Nodejs - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
  • Open Command Prompt by executing cmd.exe in the Windows Run box
  • cd to the /frontend directory of HASSPathways and type npm install into your console
  • Once everything is installed (ignore warnings), type npm run serve
  • Visit the specified website the console spits out

Backend Setup

  • https://github.com/Bram-Hub/CSV-Uploader
  • python3 manage.py makemigrations
  • python3 manage.py migrate
  • python3 manage.py createsuperuser and enter the information (email field can be left empty)
  • python3 manage.py runserver

Branches/Pull Requests (old)

To maintain an individual's credibility towards this project and order, we'll be using branches and pull requests. Branches will separate our work from one another preventing each other from overwriting someone's work. Pull requests is more of a formaility before it goes to production. With an active pull request, it tells the other developers part of the team that a feature/issue has been newly created/resolved. Pull requests will be handled by @nishi7409

The ideal format for a branch name in this project is issueNumber-&-issueNumber/FirstName For example, a possible branch name would be called 3-&-16/John. You'd base your branch off the all-frontend or all-backend branch depending on what stack (frontend or backend) issue you've been assigned. All issues are created with a label assigned to them (if one hasn't been labeled, let the project leader know ASAP).

When you're completely done with your issues that have been assigned to you, push to your specific branch then create a pull request to the your main-stack's branch (all-frontend or all-backend). If the pull request is approved, you should expect to see your commits made to your stack's main branch and your changes should be out on the live production page.

Thanks

A big thank you to Professor Bram Van Heuveln for allowing Alex Montes, Christopher Ng, Vincent Chen, and myself to join the BramHub organization and develop a department run organization tool that aims to support over 4,000 current students along with an annual rate of 1,500 incoming students
