ShamiThe current process of collecting student's attendance information is mostly manual. This project attempts to propose a more efficient Information Communication Technology (ICT) based process. The proposed design makes use of radio frequency (RF) as a means of communication between the Attendant Management Data Server (AMDS) and the RFID Card Readers (RCR) situated in the various classrooms or lecture halls. The main purpose of RFID technology is to identify an object or a person through a tag attached to it. The identification tag contains the data stored in its memory.Each tag contains that information in the form of code, which differentiates that object from all other objects. The biggest motivation to do this project is to archive student attendances, save time of the instructor and allow only authorized students to sit in the class. When a student uses his/her RFID card, the status of the student in the system is updated and overall percentage of classes attended in that course is stored in the database and can be retrieved at any time by administration. The percentage of the course is determined by the logic that if overall time of 3 credit hour class is 30 hours then the student must be available in the class for 22.5 hour to fulfill 75 percent of total attendance requirement, otherwise he will be marked “Short Attendance or SA”. An early warning can also be initiated to intimate student about his current presence in the course. The proposed design provides interfaces for Administrators and the various stakeholders of the Student Attendant Management Information System (SAMIS). The implementation of this system will enhance both the attendance taking process and overall management of the attendance information. The system performance is demonstrated through hardware and software development.enShort AttendanceAttendant ManagementBS ThesisThesis
