Education: Final year students of EMU develop “fingerprint based attendance system”

Cyprus: Eastern Mediterranean University Cyprus, Computer Engineering students Esma Şenses and Mahmut Sevince were awarded the best project certificate for their ground breaking graduation project titled “Fingerprint Based Attendance System”.

The project is in fulfillment of their graduation requirements for the award of a degree in Engineering in line with Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology ABET criteria.

The “Fingerprint Based Attendance System’ prototype has the capability of operating both on mobile phones, PCs and laptops which allows the user to take attendance in class and at workplaces.

Through the system, students or employees can be monitored throughout the day in an automated fashion. Records may be followed through PCs, mobile phones or other systems.

The system designed is user-friendly and mobile. The University is planning to apply the system to other organisations to spread it's usage in the coming days.

Leader of the project group Esma Şenses stated that the project which took a year to finish has successfully turned into a professional job opportunity. Şenses also proposed that the product which is portable and low in cost will have high preference within the sector.

Mahmut Sevince said that after improving the visibility of the project, they will look to introduce it to the general market.

Students of the project group also expressed their happiness for their association with the EMU community adding that their achievement was due to the high quality education they received.
