  4. Problem Statement The Government of the Student Body takes many votes per session. These votes are currently taken by roll call voting. Roll call voting is extremely time consuming. This leads to long meetings and wasted time.

  5. Our Mission We are to design a voting system that will save the GSB time.

  6. Design Objectives: Hardware • Basic Voting Functions • Cost Effectiveness • Ease of Use • Fits Current Infrastructure • Expandability • Environmental Adaptability

  7. Design Objectives: Software • Ability to Tally Results • Logging of All Votes • Attendance Monitor

  8. End-Product Description • Basic Voting functions • ID Referencing • Display of Results • Port to Microsoft Excel • Attendance

  9. M.E.L.V.I.N. Interface

  10. Conceptual Drawing

  11. Assumptions and Limitations • Cost • Training • Funding • Available Parts

  12. Technical Approach • Daisy Chaining of Modules • PC Interface • Router Control • Router Configuration

  13. Evaluation of Project Success • Design of System Completed • Software Design Completed • Development of Software Completed • Partial Development of Hardware • Partial Hardware/Software Integration

  14. Recommendations • Ensure Rapid Budget Approval • Guarantee interest in project • Departmental Parts Database • Saves time during R & D Phase

  15. Initial Budget
