objectives was successfully achieved using the waterfall approach through the help of my
supervisor and expert advice. We built a handheld device which was controlled by the
ATMega1284p microcontroller, the program for the microcontroller was written in embedded
programming.
An Application software (backs up the attendance in database) which was built using python3
programming language in atom editor using MySQL as the database management system. It was
indeed a challenging project and we believe it will enhance the education standard of not only
Electronics and computer engineering but also Nnamdi Azikiwe University for properly
maintained and utilized.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The recent attendance System in institutions has proved to have failed to achieve its major
purpose which was to ensure that the right statistics of students that attended the class can be
taken. The major reason for its failure among its short-comings is the ability for a student to sign
in for another student. Many educational institutions are trying to identify accurate, safe, and
reliable techniques to protect access rights to their existing services or operation. Finger print
based attendance system is an answer to these concerns.
Fingerprint authentication has been verified through various applications. In 1924, Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is already known to have maintained more than 250 million civil
files of fingerprints for the purpose of criminal investigation and the identification of unknown
casualties. It now is being used in numerous field including financial, medical, e-commerce and
customer application as a secure and effective authentication method [l].
Survey and analysis of the current attendance methods has shown that the majority of lecturers
use a paper-based attendance method to keep attendance in Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
Problems that have been discovered with the paper-based registers are
Paper based registers are not uploaded to a centralized system, so the data is lost for analysis.
The aim of designing and implementing a Biometric system is to provide a handheld device and
also provide an application which has a database that the fingerprint data can be backed up with.
The first objective is to develop the Student’s Attendance System. This system will integrate
with the fingerprint technology. This system will record the attendance of the students in class.
This system also will provide the facilities to the faculty to access the information of the students
easily.
To be able to back up the regular attendance in the database and query it effectively
To be able to print out those who passed the 75% attendance benchmark
To compare efficiency between the proposed system and the manual system.
With this system, lecturer can record the attendance of their students in class easily. They also do
not have to count the percentage of every student at the end of the semester.
Research area
The implementation will be in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, we will be using the various levels
of students in electronics and computer engineering department
Technology
The hardware that will be used for this project is a handheld device that consists of fingerprint
module, keypad, Liquid crystal display (LCD), a timer, an ATMega 1284p microcontroller and a
serial connector that connects the hardware to the system. And the software is going to be built
with Python3 and the MySQL Server and will work effectively on any operating system
(Windows, Linux, Mac etc.).
1.5 Justification of Project
The significance must be considered in every proposed system to ensure that the proposed
system will provide more benefit to all parties especially the faculty. For this project, the
significance has been identified. The significance can be categorized into 3 groups. There are:

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The business centre of Caritas University Amorji Nike Enugu was established with the
institution in January 21, 2005. Justifiably, the business centre of Caritas University
have the problem of keeping adequate record of financial transactions, workers file and
managerial documents accrued by the purpose of planning, accuracy, timely data
processing and security. They do this in manual means with its associated problems of
insecurity, high cost of operation and long period of time used for processing data. The
design and development of computerized record keeping system in the business centre
will no doubt bring about immeasurable relief from the problems associated with manual
system of record keeping. Therefore, the study is aimed at producing an efficient
computer software package that can handle the record keeping system of the business
centre.
The purpose of this study is to develop software that can be used in keeping records of
staffs and students received with its activities. Also to promote efficient and quality of
services to individuals
This study is primarily aimed at computerizing the manual system of record keeping as
used in the business division of Fidei poly. It will help in a good number of ways to ease
the queuing method in the business centre.
The major objectives of this study is aimed at developing an automated record keeping
system others include
Though, the scope is in such a way that the study can be carried out in one and only
way that is computerizing the employee. This will help to modernized the inherent
problems encountered by the staff of this organization
This research work thou is automated record system is still limited and dependent on
human operation and manipulation in other to perform its work effectively.
Also this research work is limited to power supply as it happens to be the only source of
energy therefore without power holding the system cannot work.
Finally this research work is constrain and limited to computer literate those who can
operate a computer system effectively and its operation therefore a computer illiterate
can not make use of this research work as expected.
Automation: This is the use of control system such as computer to control and process
data, reducing the need for human intervention

Abstract
The smart school is a technology-based teaching learning institution for preparing
children for the Information Age. To achieve smarts schools educational objectives,
these teaching and learning concepts should be covered: curricular, pedagogy,
assessment and teaching-learning materials. Information and communication
technology (ICT), as second pillar of smart school, plays many roles in a smart school,
from facilitating teaching and learning activities to assisting with school management.
For instance, some of technologies which can equip a smart school might be
classrooms with multimedia courseware and presentation facilities, computer laboratory
for teaching, multimedia development center and server room equipped to handle
applications, management databases, and web servers. Although in recent years some
efforts have been done for developing smart schools, there is not a pre-defined and an
efficient solution for establishing ICT environment for smart schools. The main objective
of this research is to examine pertinent aspects of smart school’s concept, namely
matters pertaining to teacher training, information technology (IT) infrastructure, and
curriculum design to ensure that the innovation can successfully nurture a workforce
prepared to meet the challenges of the ICT era.

This is perhaps the biggest benefit of a smart classroom. This is because such a
classroom uses many gadgets that have internet connection such as mobile, laptops,
and tabs. Thanks to all these devices it is easier for students to gain access to
information on the internet. Now, students have all the information that they need about
any kind of topic they want to know about. It is basically at their fingertips. In fact, this is
beneficial for the teachers as well. This way, they are able to learn outside the syllabus
as well and this only enriches them further.
If students learn to topics in a better way, chances are that a smart class would be a
much better bet for the same. The learning sessions at these classes normally use
many visual aids. This includes powerpoint presentations, word documents, audio
sessions, and video screenings, to name a few. They play a major role in conveying the
lessons in a way that is a lot more understandable. At times, a simple picture is a good
enough substitute for thousands of words.
One thing with smart classes is that they are always being recorded. This means that
even if you were to miss a couple of sessions you need not to feel bad. This is because
there would always be the video recordings to fall back on in case you need them. You
can go through the videos and also email the teachers in case you happen to have any
doubt about the same. In a traditional classroom, the students always find it hard to
copy down all the information that the teacher is providing them.
It is common knowledge that not all students in a class have the same power to grasp
things. As far as the weak students are concerned they always find it hard in traditional
classrooms. But, the smart classrooms – by being as dynamic as they are – have made
it easier for these students to learn at a pace that they are comfortable with. Mention
needs to be made of the visual effects concepts that are being used in these classes.
These effects make the entire lesson a lot clearer and this benefits these weak students
in particular.
The digital tools are now an integral part of these smart classes. This is why the
teaching environment over here can be called interactive in the truest sense of the term.
It is one where both students and teachers have definite roles to play. This kind of
learning makes the entire process a lot more transparent. It is a lot better than what it
would otherwise have been. This improves the interaction between the students and the
teachers in a significant way as well. It also improves the bond between these
individuals as well. This is because they are able to communicate outside the school
with the help of emails and messages.
7. Paper is replaced by digital tools
Each year students use tons of paper in order to take notes. These days, there is a lot
of emphasis on being environment-friendly and this is the reason why most of the
businesses are going paperless as well. In fact, by facilitating note-taking on digital
instruments it is now actually possible for the environment to be saved in a way. They
are creating a way to replace usage and wastage of paper. In such a concept there is
no place for photocopies and printouts, and this is helping reduce the carbon footprint
as well.
In traditional classrooms, students have to spend a lot of money each year to buy the
necessary educational items such as books and pens to name a few. Even as they go
up these costs increase as well. However, with smart classes, such expenses can be
kept to the bare minimum. In these classes, all you need to do in this regard is to make
a onetime investment in the first year and buy those electronic gadgets.
Conclusion…
With the help of the technology available in these smart classes, students actually have
the chance to learn from the experts of various subjects. This is one facility that is not
available in traditional classrooms where it is the same teachers who take care of
various subjects and this is something that does not change at all. Apart from all these,
smart classes provide students more learning opportunities, makes the process of
learning a fun-filled one, help them learn new technology, allow them the option to
collaborate with others and learn, and their grades improve as well.
