1.1 Introduction
Academic institutions are responsible for what their students are learning.
These institutions are considered as one of the most important sources of education.
It has been said that education is the transmission of knowledge from one generation
to another by means of direct instruction (Giddens, 2004). But what if those people,
whose job is to give instructions, are not present? Then those institutions are not
This is a common problem not only to companies, but also to schools and
universities. Most of them use the manual method of recording and monitoring DTR,
which is ineffective in monitoring the records of faculties and staffs, especially when
handling large volumes of data. Without proper instructions from the professors, the
learning of the students may decline, thus affecting the universities’ reputation.
method in taking the attendances of their staffs and faculties. Using a computer-
based DTR system may greatly improve the process of recording the staffs’ and
faculties’ DTR in terms of speed and efficiency of both recording and monitoring,
combined with the contactless smart card technology to make the system tamper-
By using the proposed system, the faculties and staffs will only tap their ID’s
on the card reader to take their time-in and time-out and the system will
automatically record the data to the database and generate a report for the
managers. With this process, the managers will be able to monitor their staffs easily.

software quality
The study is limited to the development of the DTR system using contactless
smart card. The program will be developed under Microsoft Visual Basic. The
program will run on Windows 7 OS above. The program will only be used to take the
DTR of faculties and staffs and is not designed to take student’s attendance or
visitor’s log.
The study attempts to greatly improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of
