Protótipo de alta fidelidade para agendamento de refeição estudantil e auxílio ao refeitório do IFBA Seabra

Abstract

In IFBA - Campus Seabra, several students need to attend the two shifts — morning and afternoon — in the institution, either by academic activity, office hours, due to residing in another city, or various reasons. Because of this, these students require lunch and, to do so, they notify to the campus cafeteria their intention to have lunch by filling out a Google Forms’s form, the same platform that the cafeteria administrators use to manage these registrations. Given this reality, the objective of this project was to create a hybrid application — or PWA (progressive-web-app) — as an alternative to register and to manage the campus’s registrations for more autonomy of the students and the cafeteria staff. For this, the methodological steps involved the following actions: identifying the application’s requirements and elements; training of the work duo; building and testing the application using the Figma, Laravel, Visual Studio Code and Xampp. It was found that it was possible to build a functional, responsive, organized and lightweight design prototype, ensuring a more comprehensive user experience and turning into reality a new solution for the Student Cafeteria’s administration. Furthermore, the project contributed to reinforce the importance of applied research for developing innovations to internal school infrastructure challenges, as well as enhancing the professional and personal development of the student duo through practical engagement with an external technological approach beyond the regular curriculum.
