Development of iPROJECT Mobile Application for Mini Project Assessment of Engineering Science Courses

Abstract

In the advancing world of technology, mobile applications represent a large part of the entire country. The field of education is also informed about mobile applications that are developing rapidly. In the area of education, there is a lot of evidence to support the idea that technology is constantly evolving and will have a significant impact on society. This research paper discusses the stages in the development of our mobile application has named as "iPROJECT". This application was developed to help facilitate the Coursework Assessment documents management process for the DBS10012 Engineering Science course. This is due to the Course Work Assessment management process becomes less effective because there are twelve (12) documents that need to be managed by the lecturers which can cause document loss due to hard copy submission, difficult to control the student's work progress and the student also does not get the highest score for the mini project evaluation. Therefore, in this research study, the iPROJECT android application is designed, developed, and tested for lecturers and students. Adaptation of Agile Model serves as a roadmap for the staged development of this application. To ensure the development needs of this application, preliminary interviews were conducted with lecturers and students. The results of the interview proved that the informant voiced the need to develop an application to help manage documents in the evaluation of mini projects. With the application lecturers and students can manage all the documents in an effective way.
