In 1993, during the founding of North South University, the first private university of Bangladesh, the department was established in the name of Department of Computer Science. Since its inception it has gone through many transformations and transitions. The department continued with the same name till 2006 when it was renamed as Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) as it had been offering Computer Engineering program from Spring 2003. As the number of students was growing and the demand for Electrical and Electronic Engineering was creating, the department started offering BS in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) degree from Spring 2009 and the department was renamed again as Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in that same year. Later on it was renamed again as the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in 2014.

Design of a low voltage digital thermostat using LM35 and PIC Microcontroller
(North South University, 2013) Kaiser Alam; K. M. A. Salam; 072163045
This system is about the design of a low cost temperature sensing and control system (thermostat) with the use of PIC microcontroller and LM35 temperature sensor. The system is relatively inexpensive to make and can be integrated with temperature control systems such as air conditioners and fans. Apart from making temperature control systems more affordable for everyone, this system also helps save energy by automatically switching the devices on or off at the appropriate temperatures. In this project the LM35 and PIC16f877a microcontroller have been used to make a digital thermostat that is programmed to switch on and off a fan automatically when the temperature rises above or falls below a certain threshold value. The device also includes a LCD display to indicate the ambient temperature to the user. The threshold temperature can be programmed into the PIC microcontroller using a PIC programmer. The device as a whole works as a digital thermostat. Commercially available digital thermostats work at 24V AC typically. Some versions use a low voltage as low as 6V or as high as 30V. In this project the thermostat design allows it to operate at only 5V, making it more energy efficient than currently commercially available digital thermostats. The versatility of the system allows it to integrate with many different devices. Apart from air conditioners, furnaces and fans, this system can be used to build incubators or to maintain a constant temperature in your refrigerator at home.

Bangladesh has a lot of potentialities and possibilities as a third world country if it utilizes the blessings of technology properly. With the help of recent technology, different time series analysis models have been developed like ARIMA, ARIMAX, SARIMA, SARIMAX, and even a Facebook developed module called Prophet. Nowadays it is possible to detect the future trend of any business given any type of data. We have applied a similar approach to predict sales for one of the flourishing startups of the country named Rokomari.com. The struggle for any company is to sustain amongst its powerful competitors in its emerging years. It becomes easier to ace over the competitors if the company can have a prior preparation of its upcoming challenges. Our effort was to make the journey smoother so that it can sustain in building a flourishing business amongst its competitors. In order to do so, we have worked with “real world” sparse dataset of the company itself. We were successful in predicting their possible sales for coming years using time series models like SARIMA and Fb Prophet. The paper discuses briefly about the significance and possibilities created due to implementation of our custom build software.

There are traditional ways that we have used to control and deal with the after math of fire hazards and natural calamities like earthquakes and cyclone. But as the technology has developed in recent years we have come up with a more innovative method to tackle this problem which we believe can save more lives. Our solution is PHOENIX. It is a pair of drones that are designed for surveillance and survival package delivery in the case of a disaster management. The reason why we chose to work with drones is because one of the major aspect of a drone is that it can reach where a person cannot. In many disastrous situations that is a major factor in saving lives. Traditional methods has to work from a distance and is inaccessible in tight places. Our drones can provide an overview of the whole effected area and show exactly where to send rescuers and resources to save maximum lives and goods. In case of disasters these drones can be used for surveillance and also for deployment of fire extinguishing agents and emergence survival kits. These small changes can cause a major difference in a life and death situation. We believe that in the right hand our project can save a lot of lives in disaster situations.

Drones have become very common these days in the entertainment field. People use drones to take amazing videos and pictures of landscapes. We have used this entertainment device in a more helpful way with which we can solve real world problems. Our drone has features such as surveillance, object detection and crowd detection. The main idea of our project is aimed to ensure precise and fast surveillance throughout a specified area using autonomous surveillance. It is aimed to be used for violence detection, law breakers and any other objection that pose a threat to the law. It scans all the places that CCTV cameras cannot cover and reports back live video feedback to the security personnel. Our work mainly aims to improve surveillance technologies and shape a secure compound. With the rise in security issues in the past decade, many people have resorted into unfair means of conduct. Also, with the rise of technology, it has become easier for law breakers to plan about an event without any security officials knowing about it. CCTV cameras are sometimes able to catch the intruders but, in most cases, due to the angle in which the camera is set to, many crimes go unnoticed. Our drone can detect any unwanted object or unauthorized person inside a given territory. Moreover, if there is any crowd which can pose a threat for the security concern, our drone can autonomously detect the crowd and send notification to the nearby security personnel.

In this report, we have explored the idea of automation in regards of hydroponic system. The purpose of this project was to make this process more manageable and accessible for the masses so that the people of Bangladesh can re-establish the slowly falling agricultural sector with advance new technology. As the unemployment rate is increasing and people are looking for new ways to stabilize the growing economy that people of Bangladesh has worked hard for, the most lucrative offer can come from the most back dated sector of our country, thus the hydroponic system. Hydroponic system can be the emancipator of our agricultural system, albeit the venture is quite risky due to the fact that we lack both knowledge and resources. Since, hydroponic system present itself as something of a sacrilege, which more often than not, people tends to avoid. Furthermore, with the backward technology we have mixed with the lack of understanding, most of the enthusiast either gives up half way or are still struggling. Ergo, this project is aiming to help the entrepreneurs to invest in agriculture so that we can not only reinvent our agriculture sector with new generation of young people, but also provide the country with adequate food, medicinal plant, foreign plants etc. We are integrating internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing to ease the hydroponic system, which requires constant maintenance, so that the new comers has more access.

This paper deals with recognizing characters written on thin air. The aim of this project was to enhance the learning method of primary school education in learning alphabets and numbers and counting. Children of primary level can draw characters in thin air, and see three dimensional or two dimensional images of the characters they write on the screen as a means of Augmented Reality, and also see examples associated with the characters and numbers. This is done by identifying a certain gesture of the hand as a pointer and then tracking that pointer as a means of drawing a character. The detection of the pointer is done with one single-lens web camera and without the usage of any motion sensors or any other external devices. Google’s Tensorflow module was used for training the pointer, and the entire project is done with simple python libraries such as OpenCV, numpy and others. The system requires the minimum manual involvement, and operates within three keystrokes.

In this project, we design a novel type of electronic voting system. With the help of live image processing technology, this system becomes more secure and effective. Besides the advancement in hardware, web, and application-based voter sorting system is introduced by which a voter can choose to vote from anywhere of a country which makes a hundred percent participation of voters. Four connected machines work together to accumulate each successful vote. Before counting the final vote by the fourth machine, NID, biometric fingerprint and image of the voter are verified by the other three machines simultaneously. While voting, if multiple faces detected by the camera module, the vote will not be counted. Corrupted situations can be easily reduced by this inexpensive and effective system.

(North South University, 2019-08) Hamdan Kaiser; Sayeda Islam Nahid; Dr. Shahnewaz Siddique; 1512080042; 1510897042
Learn The World, an object learning based Android application, developed based on Machine Learning and Image Captioning. An android application that generates a description of an image that we know as image captioning. Image captioning works after recognizing the important objects, their attributes and their relationship in an image. From the following concept, we aim to designing a learning application, developed based on Image Caption using Machine Learning that detects objects from real time images (means an image taken instant) or previous taken image and describe image behavior with the help of speech descriptor with modifications. Also, our application marks each individual objects according to object annotations and lists the name of particular object on images into machine encoded text with its accuracy. Means it can be used for many purposes like recognizing objects from images, helping children to learn the surrounding behaviors, detect particular objects and so on. That means if anyone, specially a child takes a picture of an event surrounded by them the application will first introduces them with the object included in that picture. And it helps them showing accuracy of the objects present in the picture. They can see the caption and by speech descriptor they can acquired knowledge about the correct pronunciation. This application is very much informative related to children for every day’s knowledge gathering.

In this project we present a system where the machine will receive three types of industrialized bottles and according to their weight it will generate some point for the user. With certain amount of points the user can collect money or some sort of reward depends on the system manufactures and the system service providers. First of all we will build a RVM (Reverse Vending Machine) and it can take three types of industrialized bottles like plastic bottles, Aluminum cans or Glass jars then it will measure the weight and pass to the next phase to sort it out. In the next phase the sensors will differentiate among these materials and will sort it and put them on desired container. While sorting the materials it already generated some points according to it’s weight. As we already set the threshold weight for the different materials the point Generation will be valid. The user will get a slip with point mentioned on it and s/he can collect The reward using that slip. The service provider will decide what type of reward a user will get At what amount of points. This project idea was developed because of the excessive amount of Plastic bottles on the street and it is harmful for the environment also. The recycling industries Are very profitable but it needs lots of manpower and it is not cost effective, so with this Machine it will be cost efficient as well as environment friendly. The people will encourage to Use the machine as they are benefiting. Thus this project is profitable from economic aspect at the same time it is very useful for keeping the environment from pollution which can not be reversed these days. We can see people using trash here and there even the vast ocean is getting polluted with this types of material everyday. No government or organization can do anything on their own in this regard but making people interested to keep the environment clean can be the next step to save the environment from destroying completely.

Bangladesh economy draws its main strength from the agriculture sector. The sector contributes 19.10% to GDP (at current prices) and employs 50.28% of the labour force.1 However inadequate management practices (fertilizer, water, and pests & diseases) are one of the driving causes for agricultural productivity to be reduce din Bangladesh. The use of fertilizers, quality seeds, and irrigation together cannot ensure sustainable production unless timely and appropriate measures for the management of other nutrients are simultaneously pursued. Therefore this project proposes a completely innovative, user friendly technology that assists farmers in maintaining their crop nutrients without any effort. The function of the rover will be to move around a field comprised of a fixed area. This will be established using a GPS tracker. The rover will it have a colour sensor, DHT sensor, water sensor, moisture sensor which will detect the colour change, and also other things which affect the crop’s growth and wellbeing. The information collected by the rover will be sent to the farmers via a message over their personal mobile phones. Our project aims to give actual data or condition of the crops to the producers to take right steps for the yield production. Using these information, the farmer can take necessary steps for the well- being of the crops, further improving crop yield and productivity

As a result, renewable energy solution has achieved a great The world is using up all the resources to meet the daily demands of energy and it is quite expectable that in the near future we will run out of any naturally occurring ore/mineral/petroleum. Demand today to save the natural resources and also to tackle the crisis of energy. Solar energy is rapidly gaining its popularity as an important source of renewable energy. But the efficiency of solar panel is a big factor. While the sun keeps following a parabolic path throughout the day, the panels which are used in our country are generally fixed to a pole or the roof of the house and hence, throughout the day, the efficiency decreases significantly. In this thesis, we have constructed a 2 axis solar tracker which can track the sun throughout the day to obtain the maximum efficiency. This project discuss the design and construction of a prototype for solar tracking system that has a single axis of freedom. Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) are used for sunlight detection.
