Abstract: The present application discloses methods and systems configured to help students navigate and understand the requirements and options for courses selection, academic programs, and transferring credits to or from another college or university. Presented are several innovative graphical methods with an automated cleaning back-end method and device designed to present in intuitive ways the requirements of and paths toward degree completion. In some embodiments, a program mapper webtool takes static course information and transforms it into an interactive online tool. The program mapper uses data that has been verified or cleaned by a data cleanup tool. The program mapper presents the verified data as pathways to guide students through a selected educational path. The program mapper may further include an authoring tool that allows authorized users to build school-specific program maps based on its own academic programs and requirements.

Abstract: Provided is a die lift system comprising an end effector capable of lifting and manipulating a die, creating a safe and efficient way to do so free off all physical exertion by the worker associated with the lifting and maneuvering of the die; the end effector having the ability to engage a die; the end effector having at least one series of tines capable of grasping the die; the end effector having the ability to be securely coupled to the die; and the end effector having the ability to disengage from the die.
