ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Green Home Improvement Project
Analysis on reducing one's home utility cost was done by replacing a few
appliances based on how much of energy was consumed. Various stages of the
project such as scope, planning, sequencing of work, scheduling and
budgeting were involved. Major risks were identified and were addressed
during the planning phase of the project. Tools such as MS Project and
Gantt charts were used and also preparing Histograms based on cost
effectively used.
Automatic Time and Attendance Register
The miniature model of Automatic time and attendance register was developed
which can store the details of three student's details for five days of the
week. The name of the student, id number and department name are previously
stored in the memory of the PIC 16F877 microcontroller. A real time clock
is programmed to show time and date of the time of attendance. Project
scope included hardware circuit design and microcontroller programming.
