Design of a Database Management System for Movie Recommendation Related to the History of Industrial Engineering for Courses

Abstract

This study aims to combine education and cinema to provide suitable movie content for students, academics, or users. At the first stage, the topics related to industrial engineering courses from each semester are determined by the development of the industry through industrial revolutions. The terms are then associated with the lessons and, matching film-semester-film is made as an appropriate auxiliary resource for the lessons. The database created in the SQLite program with the help of the keywords searched on the IMDb site is connected to C# and the database is used in the Windows form application. In the application presented to the user, three different pages are presented as lectures, semesters, and movies. It is possible to see which films are related to the selected course from the course list. This is a pioneer study in the literature suggesting a movie to the industrial engineering undergraduate students related to their courses. According to the best of our knowledge, an application-based project proposing films for courses has not been found in the literature.
