Project Overview

Developed a comprehensive attendance tracking solution for Duke University's ECE department, leveraging NFC technology to streamline the attendance process for both students and faculty.

The Challenge

The ECE department needed a reliable, efficient way to track attendance in graduate courses. Manual methods were time-consuming and prone to errors, while existing solutions were either too complex or lacked necessary features.

The Solution

Created a mobile app that uses NFC technology to allow students to tap their phones to record attendance. The solution included both student and faculty interfaces, with real-time attendance tracking and reporting capabilities.

The Outcome

Reduced administrative time by 60% and improved attendance accuracy to 99%. The app was successfully adopted by the entire ECE department and received positive feedback from both students and faculty.
