Thesis Approval Sheet (Attendance)

This document is a thesis proposal for an attendance monitoring system for students at the College of Computer Studies. It proposes using Raspberry Pi or Arduino with an NFC or fingerprint module to automatically record student attendance via RFID or fingerprint and save the data to a database. The system aims to make it easy for professors to monitor student attendance and use it for assessments. It argues that attendance monitoring improves student performance and retention, allows early intervention for at-risk students, and informs resource planning. The proposal was approved by the College of Computer Studies Research Council.

Title: Attendance Monitoring System for CCS Student


Area: Intelligent System
General Topic: Intelligent System
Specific Topic: Attendance Monitoring System for CCS Student
Rationale:

An intelligent system is a machine with an embedded, Internet-connected computer that


has the capacity to gather and analyze data and communicate with other systems. Other criteria
for intelligent systems include the capacity to learn from experience, security, connectivity, the
ability to adapt according to current data and the capacity for remote monitoring and
management.

Student attendance monitoring has become increasingly common in Higher Education


practices. Allowing students to skip class undermines the sense of academic community that is
so important to universities especially in fields where there is an emphasis on sharing ideas. It
also undermines students own studies because it allows them to miss class if they havent done
the work, are too hungover, or simply cant be bothered. When the opportunity is there to miss a
class, it is tempting to shirk responsibility.

Research from studies suggests there is a positive correlation between student


attendance and academic performance. Data revealed that the more a student attends classes,
the less chance they have of failing academic assessments, and the more chance they have of
attaining high grades (NewmanFord et al., 2008). Evidence from the literature also suggests
that implementing a student attendance monitoring system has been a useful means of
improving student retention.
Implementing a student attendance monitoring system can also allow Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs) to develop a strategy to recognise and support students who are
experiencing difficulties in the transition to higher education and who may otherwise become
lost in the system. Having a system can identify students at risk of disengagement and allow
faculty staff to reach out and intervene before the student drops out of his or her course.
Poor attendance can be an indicator that a student has become disengaged from their
studies. That raises the question of when faculty staff should intervene to prevent the student
from dropping out. Having a student attendance monitoring system that can generate reports
and trigger communication with can prevent the student from disengaging with their studies. It
can be a simple email, text or through social media messaging; dropping a message to a
student who has missed a certain percentage of classes and preventing them from getting lost
in the system.It demonstrates a certain level of pastoral care that an academic institution can
provide and cater for their student population.
Having a digital student attendance monitoring system not only measures student
attendance, it can also measure student engagement at lectures, tutorials and other events.
Poor attendance can be an indicator that a student has become disengaged from their studies.
Early identification of a student withdrawing from regular attendance, and taking prompt
remedial action, can make a big difference to whether a student leaves or not. Having a Student
Attendance Monitoring System that can deliver an automated text or email after a certain quota
of absence will let students know that if they are absent, they are missed. A Student Attendance
Monitoring System allows for instant event creation, and cancellation functionality to optimise
facility management processes. In addition, it would improve teaching space occupancy and
informs future resource planning activities.
The researchers will use Raspberry pi or arduino that will act as the brain of the system,
A NFC or fingerprint module that will read RFID or student fingerprint. The data from the system
will then automatically be saved on a database where the professor can access and see the
total absences of a student.

This project aims to make it easy for the professors to monitor the attendance of their
students and can be used also on their assessment for a particular student.
