Implementación de un sistema biométrico de huellas dactilares para el control de asistencia estudiantil en la Escuela de Ingeniería Industrial de la Facultad de Mecánica.

Abstract

At The School of Industrial Engineering of the Faculty of Mechanics, a biometric fingerprint system was implemented to control students attendance, with the aim of automating and optimizing the traditional method. The project was framed in the research of technologies and automation in the processes of control of assistance in public institutions. A number of techniques and instruments were used for data collection, record-keeping, elaboration of registers, assignment of schedules, and attendance reports. The implemented method has more acceptance than the traditional method through the evaluation of a survey, which generated a great contribution to the technological advance in the career. The study of this biometric fingerprint system aims to contribute to the teacher with the programming in attendance management software and a final report in excel to verify if the student complies with the minimun attendance percentage of 70% that is a requirement to be able to pass a subject. The research paper concludes that carry out an automatic report guarantees the student attendance percentage in a fast and secure way a high reliability and efficiency in 95%. It is recommended that the assistance control of the entire carrer broadens the automated system to provide security and agility in the requirement of information replacing traditional methods that can be easily imitated.
