Armen Chouldjian helps increase BART’s safety and reliability

EECS senior Armen Chouldjian was one of 11 engineering interns, selected from more than 200 college applicants around the nation, to work in the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Maintenance and Engineering Department. His summer project was to take information-dense reports generated from various BART computer systems and make them more readable and accessible. He and his partner, Anuj Shah, went far beyond that, creating an internal web application that is already being used for greater efficiency and quicker diagnosis and resolution of problems. “It’s a win-win,” said Chouldjian. “I get to play with cool technology and it ends up helping people.”
