This file was created from data scraped from WPI's new course scheduler. The data is accurate as of Monday, 2016-04-18 (Monday; yesterday). The date at the top of the file may not be accurate.

Because the new scheduler includes data that this one is not meant to, there are a few differences to note:

  1. Category II courses not offered in the year the file covers are not listed.
  2. In many cases, sections are now separate from courses. This file lists every valid combination of subsections (lecture, lab, etc.) as a separate section. For example, lecture A01 and lab AX02 will be listed as "A01 X02".

Each such section has the seats, waitlist, and CRN of its smallest subsection. Also, the CRN of each subsection is listed after the location, so the CRN of both the lab and lecture can be seen.

Additionally, each "main" subsection (lectures, generally) is listed separately from those, with its own seats and waitlist visible.

For example, take a course with the following subsections:

Type CRN Seats Waitlist Building Room
A01 Lecture 10111 100 10 SL 104
A02 Lecture 10222 120 10 SH 102
AX01 Lab 10333 20 5 SL 123

These will be shown in the scheduler as these sections:

Section CRN Seats Waitlist Type Building Room
A01 10111 100 10 Periods: Lecture SL 104 10111
A01 X01 10333 20 5 Periods: Lecture SL 104 10111
Lab SL 123 10333
A02 10222 120 10 Periods: Lecture SH 102 10222
A02 X01 10333 20 5 Periods: Lecture SH 102 10222
Lab SL 123 10333

Oh, cool. I did not realize people were making changes. I will take a look when I get back home.
