Abstract
The increasing demand for secure, transparent, and efficient electoral processes has led to the adoption of online voting systems in universities. This project presents a PHP-based online voting system designed to provide a secure, user-friendly, and tamper-proof election platform for universities. The system enables student authentication, candidate registration, real-time vote
tallying, and automatic result generation after a set period. Security measures such as one-time voting enforcement and database encryption ensure election integrity. By leveraging web technologies, this system enhances electoral accessibility while minimizing fraud and administrative overhead, offering a scalable solution for university elections.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB-BASED FACULTY COMPLAINT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE FACULTY OF COMPUTING

Year of Publication
Publication Type
Abstract
The management of student complaints in many tertiary institutions relies on fragmented, manual processes that lead to inefficiencies, delayed resolutions, and a lack of transparency and accountability for course representatives and faculty administration. This project addresses this systemic challenge by designing and implementing a web-based Faculty Complaint Management System. The system provides a centralized platform featuring three distinct user roles (Administrator, Lecturer, Course Representative) and utilizes PHP, MySQL, and Bootstrap for development. Its core functionality includes secure, role-based access control, an intuitive interface for course representative complaint submission and real time status tracking, and robust administrative tools for user management and automated complaint routing based on lecturer assignments. The methodology involved a systematic approach from requirements analysis and UML- based design to implementation with best practices for data integrity and security, including password hashing and protection against common web vulnerabilities. Rigorous testing across multiple levels including unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing validated the system's functional reliability and usability. The completed system successfully replaces the manual process, providing transparency, accountability, and efficiency through centralized tracking, activity logging, and statistical reporting capabilities. The solution contributes a validated, context-specific application of open-source technology to enhance administrative service delivery in higher education

THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN AUTOMATED GAIN STAGING AND VOLUME MATCHING SYSTEM FOR REAPER

Abstract
During audio mixing and mastering, particularly when using equalization and compression, manually matching the perceived volume levels before and after plugin processing is a critical yet time-consuming task. This manual process involves repeatedly analyzing audio segments to ensure volume stability, which is crucial for a balanced mix. This project aims to automate this volume matching process. The proposed solution is a Reaper Lua script (potentially incorporating JSFX for analysis) that reads both the input and output audio levels of a track or effect chain. It will then automatically balance the output audio's loudness to match the input, offering the user choices for the measurement standard, such as LUFS, RMS, or peak dB, thus ensuring efficient and accurate gain staging

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SOFT START TO START A SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR.

Abstract
The use of induction motor in various facet of engineering manufacturing and production sector to power various equipment have gained stability and thereby creating huge starting current which in turn contribute to the unbalance loading of network giving rise to high energy and economic loss. This research work therefore seeks to reduce the starting current of the connected single phase induction motor. A smooth and soft start is employed in a single phase induction motor to eliminate the surge incurrent and electromagnetic torque during starting. The surge in current an torque are eliminated using soft starter at the time of starting. The soft starter also eliminates the unwanted effect in electric cables and distribution network. This project work provides an in depth description of sentimental and smooth start to an induction motor. The smooth start of the motor is predicted by the firing angle of the TRIAC circuit. The firing angle is delayed during starting and the delay angle reduces as the motor picks up to speed. This proposed technique provided reduced voltage at the starting and the rated voltage when the motor is up to speed. By using soft starter, the performance and efficiency of the induction motor is improved and it also improves the load torque characteristics. This project consists of 6 anti- parallel SCR connected in each series with an induction motor to the main supply, wherein two to each phase. During starting the firing angle is heavily delayed by receiving a delayed triggering pulses. The supplied voltage is gradually increased and the torque also in same manner. By this process the inrush current is drastically reduced making the motor start smoothly. The induction motor of 0.56KW, frequency of 50Hz, maximum voltage 230V, receives little or no surge using the soft 6 starter device. The startup ramp is about 4s to 7s depending on the power of the induction motor. The firing angle is gradually decreased from 80˚ by interval of 20˚ until 0˚ max of the full half A.C voltage.

Abstract
The computerized child abuse database management system is a project proposed to create awareness among the masses on the issues related to child abuse. The computerized system will keep track of all the suspicious incidents of child abuse by generating reports, and aid law enforcement agencies based on numerous details. Implementing this computerized system will play a crucial role in child welfare. The management system and data collection tools will meet the Federal reporting requirements, it will also serve the information needs of organizations, help inform management decisions, and support caseworkers' interactions with children, youth, and families
