Methodology
Our project is mainly comprised of five essential components being the RFID tag, the RFID reader, the arduino uno microcontroller, a breadboard, and an LED for testing purposes. Each RFID tag comes with its own address which will be associated with a student’s name and Eagle ID number, which will all be in a database. Once read, the addresses of the students’ RFID tags will be sent to the microcontroller which will process the information into the database which the instructor can later access for verification of the students’ attendance.
TIMELINE
As this is early within the project, we do not have any concrete deliverables. We will begin actualizing the project once we order and obtain an RFID reader and tags to test the reader with.
However, as an early expectation, we are very certain we only have two distinct deliverables to look forward to: successful Arduino -to- RFID Reader interface and successful Arduino -to- Database integration.
BUDGET
Right now we are very fortunate that a lot of the material is avaiable at no cost to us. We will have to purchase the RFID tags, but those cost $2.50 per tag.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Currently, we have no results, as we are waiting on shipping for the RFID and connecting the sparkfun with our RFID reader. We will be discussing in the coming months if we stick to a passive RFID tag or obtain an active tag to increase range.
Connections
We are thinking of using an arduino ethernet shield in order to connect to Google Sheets, so that we may collect and organize the student's attendance.
