The system should assist in defining these associations and should maintain all necessary relations between outcomes and assessment results. • Monitor and report student performance on both individual and group bases. The professor may define a group to be some set of a class; however, the department may need the performance results of all students for a particular program outcome. • The performance results and associated relations among LRM objectives and program outcomes should persist in a database.

One major limitation encountered during testing this prosthetic device was thespace occupied by these components, which makes the device bulky. In addition, these servomotors cannot control the movement of the prosthetic device precisely. In this paper, we proposeto improve on the existing prosthetic limb prototype by transitioning the electromechanical systemto linear actuators and replacing the larger Arduino Mega and Raspberry Pi 3 with the smallerArduino Nano and Raspberry Pi Zero W, respectively. These changes will result in a more cost-effective, more stable, and more accurate prototype, resulting in better
