Successful advising increases applicant yield and student retention, improves graduation rates, and helps students meet educational goals. This work presents a cognitive advising system that answers questions related to a university and its programs. This system uses IBM Watson's cognitive intelligence to identify the question category and then answer the question accordingly. To implement the system, the authors created a four-step systems development process. Their approach will be used as part of a Cognitive Computing in Business course that exposes student teams with diverse skills and backgrounds to both developing and deploying cognitive systems.
