The proposed web application is a comprehensive solution aimed at engineering students and mentors, providing a centralized platform for document management, version control, task and project management, and access to essential technical tools. This platform will facilitate the sharing, organizing, and tracking of project-related documents, ensure secure access to crucial engineering software, and enable students and mentors to collaborate more effectively. By incorporating features like secure file sharing, drag-and-drop task management, real-time project tracking, and easy access to technical tools (e.g., IDEs, cloud platforms), the platform will empower students to enhance their learning experiences while helping mentors and companies efficiently track progress and provide guidance.
Key Features
1. Document Management:
o Secure Document Sharing: Allow students and mentors to upload, share, and access project documents in a secure environment.
o Version Control: Implement version control to track changes in documents, enabling users to revert to previous versions, ensuring that no data is lost during project development.
o Organized Document Storage: Categorize and tag project materials for easy access and retrieval. Ensure efficient file indexing for quick searching.
2. Access to Technical Tools:
o Curated Toolset: Provide access to essential technical tools, including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), IDEs, design software, and engineering applications (AutoCAD, MATLAB, SolidWorks).
o Software Licenses: Offer discounted or institutional software licenses to students for tools they need for their projects, such as simulation tools, coding platforms, and CAD software.
o Third-Party Integrations: Enable integration with popular tools such as GitHub, Jira, and Slack to streamline communication and development.
3. Task and Project Management:
o Real-Time Task Management: Create a dashboard where students and mentors can assign tasks, track progress, and set deadlines.
o Milestone Tracking: Set milestones for each project to track important progress points, making it easier for both students and mentors to follow the project's journey.
o Time Tracking: Implement a time-tracking feature for students and mentors to monitor the time spent on tasks and milestones to optimize productivity.
4. Collaboration and Communication:
o Document Collaboration: Enable real-time document editing, feedback, and annotation for collaborative learning and project execution.
o Interactive Communication: Integrated messaging and comment features for direct communication between students and mentors, ensuring that feedback and advice are delivered on time.
