A PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
COMPUTER SCIENCE, FACULTY OF NATURAL AND
APPLIED SCIENCES HEZEKAIH UNIVERSITY, UMUDI, IMO
STATE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF BACHELOR OF
SCIENCE (B.SC) IN COMPUTER SCIENCE.
INTRODUCTION:
HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITY IS FACING CHALLENGES WITH MANAGING STUDENT ATTENDANCE
DUE TO VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRADITIONAL MANUAL ATTENDANCE SYSTEM.
THE MANUAL SYSTEM INVOLVES SIGNING A PAPER OR USING A CARD SCANNING SYSTEM,
LEADING TO PROBLEMS LIKE INACCURACY, TIME-CONSUMPTION, LACK OF SECURITY,
INEFFICIENCY, LIMITED ACCESSIBILITY, AND HIGH ERROR RATES.
ADDITIONAL ISSUES INCLUDE A LACK OF REAL-TIME ANALYTICS, VULNERABILITY TO
STUDENT MANIPULATION, DIFFICULTY IN TRACKING ATTENDANCE PATTERNS, LIMITED
SCALABILITY, INADEQUATE SECURITY MEASURES, AND INSUFFICIENT INTEGRATION.
FURTHERMORE, THE CURRENT SYSTEM LACKS MOBILE COMPATIBILITY, AUTOMATED
ALERTS, CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS, GAMIFICATION ELEMENTS, REAL-TIME FEEDBACK,
INTEGRATION WITH LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, AND AUTOMATED REPORTING.
AIM
THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION A SECURED AND
EFFICIENT E-ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITY USING
FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY
THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE:
1. TO GATHER ALL THE NECESSARY DATA NEEDED TO DEVELOP AN E-ATTANDANCE
SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY.
2. TO DEVELOP A SECURE AND EFFICIENT FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION ALGORITHM THAT
CAN PREVENT FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES AND ENSURE DATA PRIVACY.
3.TO CREATE A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBBMS) WHICH ASSIGNS STORAGE OF
STUDENT’S DATA AND OFFERS SECURITY FOR THE STORED DATA.
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
THIS PROJECT WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFITS TO HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITY, ITS STUDENTS,
AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. BY IMPLEMENTING THIS SYSTEM, HEZEKIAH
UNIVERSITY CAN EXPECT TO SEE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN ATTENDANCE TRACKING
ACCURACY, STUDENT PARTICIPATION, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY, LEADING TO A
MORE EFFECTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
THE STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SECUREDAND EFFICIENT E-
ATTENDANCE SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY FOR HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITY.
THE E-ATTENDANCE SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION AT HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITY, UMUDI
WILL ENCOMPASS DIFFERENT ASPECTS, INCLUDING:
1. AUTOMATED ATTENDANCE TRACKING
2. REAL-TIME ATTENDANCE MONITORING
3. STUDENT/STAFFATTENDANCE ANALYTICS.
THE STUDY AIMS TO TEST AND EVALUATE THE SYSTEM’S ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY,
AS WELL AS ITS IMPACT ON STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND ENGAGEMENT.
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED
AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY, COMBINED WITH OBJECT-ORIENTED
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN METHODOLOGY (OOADM), WAS ADOPTED IN THIS WORK. THE
ITERATIVE AND INCREMENTAL APPROACH OF AGILE FACILITATED RAPID DEVELOPMENT
AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE E-ATTENDANCE SYSTEM, ENSURING FLEXIBILITY AND
ADAPTABILITY TO CHANGING REQUIREMENTS. OOADM WAS USED IN THE DESIGN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW SYSTEM,PROVIDING A STRUCTURED APPROACH TO
ANALYZING AND DESIGNING THE SYSTEM'S ARCHITECTURE AND CLASSES.
HIGH-LEVEL MODEL OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
1. USER (STUDENT/STAFF)
- REGISTERS FINGERPRINT
- ATTEMPTS TO MARK ATTENDANCE
2. FINGERPRINT SCANNER
- CAPTURES FINGERPRINT DATA
- TRANSMITS DATA TO FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
3. FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
- VERIFIES FINGERPRINT DATA
- AUTHENTICATES USER IDENTITY
- TRANSMITS AUTHENTICATION RESULT TO ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
4. ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- RECEIVES AUTHENTICATION RESULT
- MARKS ATTENDANCE ACCORDINGLY
- UPDATES ATTENDANCE RECORDS
- GENERATES REPORTS
5. DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- STORES ATTENDANCE RECORDS
- PROVIDES DATA FOR REPORTING AND ANALYSIS
6. WEB DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
- PROVIDES USER INTERFACE FOR ATTENDANCE MARKING AND REPORTING
- INTEGRATES WITH ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DATABASE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM

CONCLUSION
IN CONCLUSION, THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN E-ATTENDANCE SYSTEM USING
FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY IN HEZEKIAH UNIVERSITYIS A SIGNIFICANT
INNOVATION THAT OFFERS NUMEROUS BENEFITS. FINGERPRINT
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES A SECURE, ACCURATE, AND EFFICIENT MEANS OF
TRACKING STUDENT ATTENDANCE, REDUCING ERRORS AND
MISREPRESENTATION. THE SYSTEM’S REAL-TIME REPORTING AND ANALYTICS
CAPABILITIES ENABLE ADMINISTRATORS TO MAKE DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS,
IMPROVING STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERALL ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE. BY LEVERAGING FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY, HEZEKIAH
UNIVERSITYCAN STREAMLINE ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT, REDUCE
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS, AND ENHANCE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
THIS PROJECT DEMONSTRATES THE POTENTIAL OF FINGERPRINT
TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORM ATTENDANCE TRACKING IN HEZEKIAH
UNIVERSITY, MAKING IT A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIELD OF
EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY
THANK YOU.
