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.

    (North South University, 2019) Rafia Alif Bindu; Sazid Alam; Nusrat Jahan Moni; Dr. Shahnewaz Siddique; 1510080643; 1511394042; 1510531042
    Today, technology is developing in the same direction in line with rapidly increasing human needs. The work done to meet these needs makes life easier every day, and these studies are concentrated in robotic arm studies. Robot arms work with an outside user or by performing predetermined commands. Nowadays, the most developed field of robot arms in every field is the industry and medicine sector. When we talk about robots, people tend to think that robots are only suitable to use in the industry or just for the scientist to test new technologies. However, the main function of robots is to help humans in doing work either in the industries or just helping out doing normal household chores. To bridge the gap of the normal perception of “robots are for the industries only” is omitted for our project. This project presents the development of a radio-controlled robotic arm. The movement of the robot arm can be controlled by a FlySky FS-CT6B 2.4GHz 6CH Transmitter and a radio controller. This robot can be used to demonstrate that a robot can be used inside a home or outside for daily human chores. The robot is controlled by Arduino that interfaced with the controller by a 500 GHz receiver. Designed and realized in the project, the robot arm has the ability to move in 6 axis directions with 6 servo motors. Two types of analysis was done for this project that is servo motor analysis and accuracy test. The accuracy test shows that the results of the actual output of the servo motor as compared to the input send to Arduino Uno via controller is between 90% to 95%. This prototype of the robot showed that the operation was successful. This user-friendly robot is expected to bridge the gap between robot and household chores

    Our project has four features. It is initiated via a Bluetooth controller. Operator fixes the designated checkpoint. It can be controlled both manually and can run autonomously. Then vehicle runs on distinguishing the black path with the white space around via 4 IR sensors attached ahead of the vehicle. There is ultrasonic sonar that detects any obstacle in front on the following path. Sonar stops the vehicle keeping a distance of 15 cm away from that obstacle. This vehicle is set up algorithmically to take the rightmost path when any obstacle comes over its black line path. Our project is made to carry an approximately 10kg weight and reach to the designated checkpoint targeted by operator via Bluetooth. It has no limitation for unloading. The main unique feature is that it can take a rotation of 360 degree when task is completed after unloading. Vehicle comes back to the original point from where it has been started after 360 degree rotation from the end point. It is designed with 4 customized wheels connected with 4 Dc gear motor at four different corners under a PVC board. Over the board there is motor shield connected in parallel with Arduino mega. Ultrasonic sonar and 5 IR sensors and 12 volt battery are connected with Arduino too.

    A Comparative Study of Machine Learning Techniques for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Detection
    (North South University, 2022) Zahid Hasan; Towsif Muhtadi Khan; Dr. Atiqur Rahman; 1911509042; 1911576042
    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental impairment caused by brain differences. ASD patients may have a recognized difference, such as a genetic disease [1]. Autism can be diagnosed at any age and is referred to as a "behavioral disorder" since symptoms often develop within the first two years of life [1]. In this study, we have implemented different classifier algorithms such as Decision Tree Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Multi-layer Perceptron classifier (MLP Classifier) for detecting ASD in three types of people - adults, adolescents, and children. The proposed techniques are evaluated on publicly available three different non-clinically ASD datasets [2]. After applying various machine learning techniques and handling missing values, results strongly suggest that ANN-based prediction models work better on all these datasets with higher accuracy of 98.58%, 98.30%, and 95.24% for Autistic Spectrum Disorder Screening Data for Adults, Children, and Adolescents, respectively.

    Intelligent transportation systems have been met with resounding approval from individuals, governments and automobile manufacturers located all over the globe. The primary problems in the field of intelligent and self-driving & non self driving vehicles are identifying impediments, particularly people, and preventing accidents with them. In order to advance intelligent transportation systems for both self-driving cars and all other manual cars, we focused on using deep learning methods to identify pedestrians. After that, some of the most popular deep learning techniques were covered. The accurate identification of pedestrians in self-built automobiles still has a lot of flaws. This study highlights the challenges the transportation industry faces. The solutions are intended to help reduce traffic, accidents. Large automakers (including Google and Tesla) , working to develop self-driving and non-selfdriving vehicles that can transport passengers safely even while the driver is sleepy. Sensors that can sense their surroundings, identify what is close by, and communicate that information to the driver must be installed in these cars. neural networks, which often include several hidden layers and nonlinear processing units, are the basis for most deep learning approaches.

    A Machine Learning and Embedded Approach to Detect Fire, Identify the Cause of it and Extinguish Using the Best Possible Extinguisher
    (North South University, 2023-02-01) Md. Rashiqur Rahman; Sabbir Ahmed; Md Shafin Islam Rudro; Sadia Aktar; Md. Shahriar Hussain; 1812366042; 1813515042; 1821054642; 1821516042
    Chemical fires are a major cause of devastating situations and fatalities in Bangladesh, where inadequate knowledge of extinguishing such fires has led to numerous deaths, including those of firefighters. To address this issue, we propose a machine learning and embedded systems approach to design a dynamic and portable prototype that can remotely monitor the fire incident and determine its cause. The prototype uses a dashboard camera to stream video and gas sensors to detect the chemical gas information in the environment to identify and extinguish the fire. The embedded approach clarifies the cause of the fire and suggests the most suitable extinguisher to the user. The device is economical, portable, user-friendly, and marketable in Bangladesh. The system produces satisfactory results with high accuracy in fire detection and maintains its objective of being low-cost and user-friendly. The device can be remotely controlled using a mobile phone and web-based application. The system's machine learning approach uses appropriate datasets and algorithms (YOLOV5), while the embedded approach employs suitable sensors and a microcontroller (ESP32). The system's accuracy has been shown to be perfect.

    (North South University, 2021) Shuva Chowdhury; Istiak Ahamed Saif; Faijul Abedin; Amirul Ahsan Simon; Riasat Khan; 1731245042; 1712196642; 1711316642; 1632129642
    COVID-19 is the biggest headache for the whole world, including detecting COVID-19-affected patients. Early detection of COVID-19 may aid in the development of a treatment strategy and disease containment decisions. Also, a community through application among doctors, nurses, and patients can reduce deprivation of treatment and health care services. In this paper, we make a medical community Android application for doctors, nurses, and patients that can detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray photographs developed using a convolutional neural network deep learning algorithm (VGG16). The COVID-19, Pneumonia, and standard chest X-ray images are collected and joined from a public source, Kaggle. 9000 chest X-ray photographs were used for training, including 3000 COVID-19 chest X-ray photographs, 3000 Pneumonia chest X-ray photographs, and 3000 standard chest X-ray photographs. For testing, 3000 chest X-ray photographs were collected, with 1000 COVID-19 chest X-rays, 1000 Pneumonia chest X-rays, and 1000 normal chest X-rays. The accuracy of our training is 98 %, while the accuracy of our validation is 95%.

    A Multichannel Localization Method for Camouflaged Object Detection
    (North South University, 2022) Mohammad Rakibur Rahman; Md Mafri Chowdhury; Md Shohanur Rahaman Sarker; Md Shahriar Karim; 1812964042; 1813393402; 1812457402
    Camouflaged objects can be difficult to detect because they blend in with their surroundings. There have been numerous studies on detecting camouflaged objects, and many of these have been recognized as effective approaches. This paper presents a new algorithm for detecting camouflaged objects by focusing on identifying the region of interest, which is crucial for detecting these objects. The algorithm uses Phase Fourier Transformation to create a filtered image, and Entropy to generate a feature map from the filtered image. The feature map is then used to determine the region of interest. This paper proposes a multichannel method for discriminative region localization in Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) tasks. In one channel, processing the phase and amplitude of a 2-D Fourier spectrum generates modified form of the original image, used later for a pixel-wise optimal local entropy analysis. The other channel implements a class activation map (CAM) and Global Average Pooling (GAP) for object localization. We combine the channels linearly to form the final localized version of the COD images. Experimentation in multiple COD datasets demonstrates that the proposed method successfully localizes regions containing more than 80% of the camouflaged objects. Our proposed method does not require memoryintensive devices or prior training on particular image features, making it easily integrated into a resource-constrained environment. Theproposed approach is also applicable to non-COD images

    A Real Time Pothole and Speed Breaker Detection Using Deep Learning
    (North-south University, 2019-04-30) Zahid Hasan; Tasmia Rahman Shahidi; Samsoon Nahar Shampa; Dr. Shahnewaz Siddique; 1510846042; 1521367642; 1511148042
    The road accident rate in Bangladesh is increasing day by day due to various reasons. One of these reasons are poor road conditions. Unwanted potholes, missing pitches, improper speed breakers, unfinished manhole covers and slabs transform many roads into obstacles courses thus greatly increasing the probability of serious accidents. However, the arrival of new assistive driving technologies hold much promise in making the roads the safer and avoid serious accidents and damages. The main goal of our project is to create real-time assistive technologies to detect potholes and speed breakers for on-road drivers in general but especially for bikers and cyclists. Our system will provide drivers with advance notification about upcoming potholes and speed breakers and thus assist in avoiding unwanted accidents. Our system will provide drivers sufficient time to react to and avoid these impending road hazards

    An Online Medicine Selling System is a platform where the user will be able to buy medicines online. There are some websites available in our country running online medicine selling systems. But the change we have made in ours is to sell not only New Medicines but also Unused Medicines by the user. Pharmaceuticals, generics, and indications will categorize each of the medicines. Pharmaceuticals will help users to know from which company this medicine has been produced, generics will allow users to know which type of drug it is, and indication will help to know for what disease or problem you need to take that medicine. Secondly, we made a Blood Donor Management System from where the user will find out blood donors available in our country for their needs. And finally, we made a Drug Information Management System, which will help users know about medicines in detail like pharmacology, indications, contraindications, side-effects, precautions, dosage & administrations, and so on. We planned to make a platform that will be a complete hospitality system related to the medical sector that will be a great help for the people of our country. From this thought, we collaborated on three important sectors of medical sectors under one single platform.

    (North South University, 2019) Istiak Rahman; Zareen Tasnim; Farzeen Ahmed Bashori; Mahdy Rahman Chowdhury; 1530861642; 1511908042; 1510223642
    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.

    Our main purpose of this project is to help the people . Basically our project is health oriented and random people would be benefited using this web service named Blood Bank. Before implementing this idea we went through various types of research to check if there were any sort of web service available similar to our idea and we found some web service but we want to implement it in a different pattern so that general people can use it without facing any problem. Suppose, if there is any emergency and anyone needs a necessary group of blood then they can get the necessary information regarding the blood donor and according to their requirement’s they can contact each other through this web service. In the frontend part of our web service we are using html, css, javascript. In the backend part we are using Django. For the documentation and testing we are using Swagger. We are using sqlite for our database and for API’s we are implementing in Restful API. Through the building process of this website, we have to undergo different types of research to make our system even more helpful and easier to access for the general people. We faced several difficulties when we started to implement this because some things were not possible as we intended then tried different ways to solve those problems following comparatively easy procedures. And finally, we are able to make this web service as we desire.

    Adaptative NLP for Low Resource Environment and SAFE: Semantic-Syntactic Based Text Augmentation Technique
    (North South University, 2023) Sunjare Zulfiker; S.M. Ashraful Hasan; Fahid Shadman Karim; Shahriar Karim; 1912050042; 1911570042; 1911110042
    Natural language processing (NLP) is a popular method for extracting context and syntax from text data for use in automation. NLP research focuses on dominant languages and advanced computing, neglecting low-resourced languages with limited computational capabilities. In this research, We propose the use of data augmentation (SAFE) approaches, suggest methods including Fusion architecture models (BiLSTM+CNN+BiLSTM) with optimized cyclic learning rate scheduler, layer-wise optimization, freezing early layers, and employ the multichannel approach to address the issue of low resource text data. In the domain of NLP where vast amounts of labeled data are scarce or expensive to collect, we offer our proposed method of SAFE augmentation technique for sentiment classification. This augmentation technique identifies the Subject, Verb, and Object in a sentence and alternates their position in six different permutations. The Object is also broken down into Subject, Verb, and Object again and is further rearranged. This aims to preserve the semantic meaning of the sentence while allowing some syntactic variation. We have also generated and calculated semantic and syntactic scores of the augmented sentences with respect to the original sentences.

    Safety is one of the burning issues in the world we live in today. Violence against women has become a global phenomenon, and it prevails beyond cultural, social, geographical, and economic contexts. Like Bangladesh, almost all the constitutions of the world guarantee equal rights for both men and women, but it is also true that not many steps have been taken to reduce the violence and harassment that one in every three women faces in their day-to-day lives. Sexual harassment and other forms of violence have become an everyday occurrence around the world. The violence that women face not only takes place outside of the home. These violent acts can occur within the walls of their homes by both partner and non-partner members. Violence does not always have to be a physical force. It can be mental, emotional, and psychological as well. Violence can be in the form of a threat or any physical force that can cause harm to a person’s life or reputation. Violence against women can be categorized as criminal violence, such as rape, abduction, murder. Social violence includes dowry torture, death, violence against pregnant women in demand of a male child, violence against widows, or elderly women. Social violence includes honor killing, eve-teasing, female feticides, etc. This violence is not confined to the rural areas where there are illiterate people. It is seen that violence occurs in an educated society as well. Women all over the world, whether they belong to an illiterate or educated society, are not considered safe. The abuse that these women face in their lives is often accepted by them. They often feel frightened even by the idea of seeking help. In most cases, these women never let people know about the ongoing violence in their lives. Most of the time, it is not possible for the victims to seek immediate help in times of danger. Sometimes, rescue takes a lot of time to arrive at the location. Various initiatives have been taken to reduce or eradicate these violent acts against women and children. Laws have been passed to punish the criminals involved in these types of crimes. But these crimes are still prevalent and sadly also increasing at an alarming rate. To solve this problem, we have developed a safety application that can help women in times of danger. Seeking immediate help has become a one-step process with this application. The application has to be installed on smartphones. The application includes a distress button that enables the person in danger to ask for help from the emergency contacts set beforehand. The emergency contact receives a location beforehand via SMS, even without having an internet connection available. The location link sent can provide the location on Google Maps and let them know about the exact location. In this way, women can always have an assurance that help is one step away, and they can always seek help at the time of need. Being in a dangerous situation, people often tend to freeze in the situation, and asking for help step by step often becomes difficult. But this app not only makes the steps easier but also makes it more efficient and cost-friendly.
