This paper describes the design of a multiagent system that facilitates course-offering decision making for a program in an institution. We model course-offering determination for upcoming semesters as a multi-winner election with exogenous constraints that is a problem of computational social choice in multiagent systems, which has rarely been considered. We propose a practical and effective approach to solving the problem, which is based on Contract-Net Protocol, Single Transferable Voting, and Monotonic Concession Protocol. We describe the goal model, agent behavior models, and the interaction protocols of the system through using the Gaia role model methodology, Tropos strategic actor diagram, Pseudo-code algorithms, and Agent Unified Modeling Language sequence diagram. The effectiveness of the approach and the implemented system has been showed with the initial experimental results.
