Lab Checkoff System

This project was built to improve engineering lab checkoffs, where students demonstrate working designs to teaching assistants before receiving credit. In many courses, that process creates long queues, inconsistent evaluation, and manual grade entry.

The system provides a structured workflow for student submissions, TA evaluation, and result tracking. By formalizing the queue and grading flow, it reduces friction for both students and instructional staff.

Design objectives

  • reduce wait times during busy lab periods
  • standardize the evaluation process across TAs
  • simplify grade recording and instructor oversight
  • preserve a clear record of completed checkoffs

Result

The project turned a manual classroom workflow into a more predictable and scalable system. It demonstrates practical full-stack engineering applied to education infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on usability and operational clarity.
