Checking attendance bycalling names or passing around a sign-in sheet is time-consuming, and especially the latter is opento easy fraud. This paper presents the detailed implementation of a real-time attendance checksystem based on

consider multiple, often conflicting, criteria.When redesigning an existing curriculum, designers consider the competencies that students needto achieve, a correct sequence of competencies to ensure preparedness, and the unique challengesfaced by their students.Accreditation boards and professional organizations; such as Association for ComputingMachinery (ACM), Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); help curriculum designers by making curricularrecommendations. These recommendations serve as important guides for curriculum designers;however, they don’t take each individual university and student population into consideration.Curriculum designers often have to adapt
