The document discusses the development of a faculty search mobile app using MIT App Inventor that allows users to search for professors by name or department and view their research interests and contact information. It outlines the vision, mock-up, scenario, and demonstration of the app, which was created to act as an information portal and reduce paper use. The app allows searching and viewing professor profiles but does not include email or calling functionality, keeping the features limited to only the essential functions.
