Keyword-Matching-for-Canadian-Mechanical-Engineering-Programs-2023-2024

This data repository contributed to the survey of the prevalence of  Artificial Intelligence (AI) in current Canadian engineering curricula, which will be published in the proceedings of IDETC2024:

Web-scraping course information (course codes, names, and descriptions) from the webites of engineering programs

List of AI keywords

Developing a keyword-matching algorithm to look for the keywords within every web-scraped course description and to generate a list of courses whose descriptions matched with at least one keyword

The final results and scripts for each of these projects can be found in their respective folders in this repository

The keyword-matching script can be directly run on the commandline and the webscraping scripts can be opened via Jupyter Notebooks or Google Colab.
