Web/Database Applications

Departmental | Faculty/Research | Students | Building/Administration

Departmental

My EECS Info: Provides access to a variety of information for members of the EECS community (faculty, graduate students, staff, researchers). Information includes faculty contact info, assistants, office hours, research areas, centers/labs, research projects, faculty committees, graduate students, industrial contacts, courses, publications, technical reports, office/desk assignments. Allows edits to most existing data that is linked to the user. Provides links for faculty to the graduate admissions, faculty recruitment, and grad student review systems, plus any other applications that a specific faculty member has access to.

Faculty/Research

EECS Faculty: Stores public directory information on EECS faculty, including contact info, brief biography, office hours, assistants, teaching schedule, research areas, centers/labs, and faculty awards. The data is the source for several sections of the EECS website, including the various faculty list pages, the departmental faculty homepages, the faculty awards pages, the research areas and centers and labs pages, and the current and future class schedules pages. Updates to most data can be made via My EECS Info. This data also feeds various departmental mailing lists via direct database queries.
EECS Faculty Administration & Heaven Points: Stores restricted administrative information on EECS faculty: committee service, administrative positions, leaves, and faculty teaching loads. The data is the source for the faculty committees and administrative officers web page.
EECS Publications: Tracks EECS technical reports, faculty publications, and departmental dissertations. For technical reports, the publication itself is stored as a PDF file. The data is the source of several sections of the EECS website: Technical Reports, Ph.D. Dissertations, Master's Theses, and Patents, as well as publication info on faculty homepages. Updates to some data can be made via My EECS Info.
EECS Faculty Recruiting Review: Loads data from the Campus faculty recruiting system (APRecruit) and provides a streamlined interface for the faculty and staff who review the many applications for EECS positions.
EECS Faculty Ballots: Manages faculty voting on academic appointments and advancements within EECS.
CoE Academic Personnel: Provides an overall view of a faculty member's career and progress at UCB, with separate interfaces for Dean's Office and departmental academic personnel staff.
CoE Faculty Ballots: Manages faculty voting on endowed chairs and Engineering-wide academic proposals.
CoE Faculty Committees: Tracks College faculty committees and their membership by academic year.

Students

Graduate Admissions Review: Handles review, financial support planning, and long-term reporting for applications to our graduate programs. Most of the application data is downloaded from the campus Slate admissions system during the application cycle each fall. This application is used by staff to track applicants throughout the admission process. There are separate faculty modules to review applicants and assist with admission decisions, to plan financial support, and to track visit day appointments.
Continuing Graduate Student: Stores information on current graduate students. It is used by staff to track all academic progress towards degree and to run reports both for tracking current students and for gathering long-term statistics. Information from this system is provided in a useful form to populate faculty biobib reports. There is a separate application that is used by students and faculty for graduate student reviews.
EECS Graduate Student Exit Survey: Provides an online survey filled out by EECS graduate students upon program completion, and reports summarizing the results for staff.
Academic Student Employee (ASE) Hiring: Handles online applications for Graduate Student Instructor (GSI), Reader, and Tutor positions and is used by staff and faculty to review applications and make position assignments. Data from this application is shared in real-time with ERSO/CSS for the HR component of ASE hiring.
Undergraduate Student: Tracks academic and degree progress for College of Engineering undergraduates. As of 2018, data from this system is shared with ETS for the learning analytics system that they are piloting for Engineering.
L&S CS Major Application: Used for applying for admission into the L&S CS major.
EECS Undergraduate Faculty Advising: This application is used by EECS to manage undergraduate faculty advising. There are separate applications that are used by faculty to update their advising info and preferences each semester and by students to choose advisers and sign-up for advising sessions.
