This Final Year Project Part II final report concerns with the approach to an online system called Attendance Management System using Biometric Fingerprint Authentication Technology (FAT) proposed for Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. In current system, students' attendance is tracked manually using attendance sheet. The paper will be passed around and students are required to sign on it. Later, lecturer will check the paper and mark onthe empty column. Basically, the system is proposed so that it can capture student's daily attendance accurately because it will use fingerprint as the main input to access the system. It can help to enable the lecturer to reduce the buddy signed on and unauthorized attendance. This system will involve some hardware devices such as fingerprint reader and also some software to support this system. It is developed mainly using PHP and MySQL. The system can be seen as reliable andconvenient since fingerprint authentication is oneof the most reliable authentication methods. This system is built so that it can solve the problem occurred with the current system and provide more accuratestudent daily attendance details for future used.
