From the difficult and time-consuming reality of taking attendance, monitoring and managing class quality at schools, the group of authors, students of the Central Power College including: Bui Nhu Quynh, Nguyen Thanh Tuan, Dang Huy Hung, with the support of teacher Ho Van Vinh, have researched and successfully applied the solution of taking attendance, monitoring, managing and evaluating class quality through facial recognition - CEPC AI. This solution is not only deployed in theeducational environment but also has high feasibility in the process of managing and evaluating the quality of human resources and employees of companies and corporations.
Teacher Ho Van Vinh said that for a long time, lecturers have been in great need of tools to help manage class hours effectively. Manually taking attendance takes up a lot of class time but is not comprehensive because it only captures the number of students at a certain time. In addition, the quality of the class is also of concern to lecturers and those working in educational management.
The problem is how to recognize the emotions, attitudes and concentration levels of learners to guide the pace of the class and improve teaching efficiency? Because of these requirements, the form of attendance by card, fingerprint, and face scan at the classroom door is no longer suitable.
According to Mr. Vinh, in a certain space, the camera position in the right place can take attendance, continuously update the number of students on the software, along with evaluating the concentration, working and studying attitude of students and displaying reports to the manager.
In particular, for members who have facial recognition integrated into the software, the system will read the data, and if it detects strangers, the system will alert the manager. This is probably a suitable application for both educational environments and the offices of small and medium-sized startups.
Mr. Le Van Huong - Secretary of the Youth Union of the Central College of Electricity said that in recent times, the school has continuously encouraged and motivated students to promote their creativity to come up with new startup ideas. For ideas that are highly feasible, the school will assign lecturers and professional staff to support and guide them promptly.
"Regarding the solution of attendance system, monitoring and management of classroom quality assessment through facial recognition - CEPC AI created by Mr. Vinh and his students, winning the third prize in the Quang Nam Startup Talent Search Competition in 2024, the school has created many conditions for the group to implement.
The school and a business are implementing the application. Some features in the software need to be further upgraded and will be registered for intellectual property, packaged and launched to the market in the near future," said Mr. Huong.
With the strength of possessing a team of students trained in construction, electricity and water related professions, a group of students from Quang Nam College including Nguyen Van Quoc, Nguyen Van Hung (Faculty of Automobile - Mechanics - Construction) and teacher Le Huu Hung (Deputy Director of Nam Quang Nam Training Center) have researched and proposed a project to provide a multi-purpose service to handle incidents in civil and industrial works. The project won third prize at the Quang Nam Startup Talent Search Competition in 2024.
Teacher Le Huu Hung said that in the current market, the demand for handling incidents related to waterproofing, dripping, electrical short circuits, water leaks, etc. is very high. However, construction units currently only accept multi-item contracts, or if there are, some electricians and plumbers accept to handle incidents but homeowners are still not given priority because they are still working for other projects.
Meanwhile, at Quang Nam College, many excellent students in the fields of construction, electricity and water could not find a suitable “address” to work part-time to increase their income. Understanding this gap, Mr. Hung and two students Quoc and Hung came up with the idea of writing a project to provide the above services and using the school’s excellent and highly skilled human resources to carry out the project.
The idea group of Mr. Le Huu Hung uses social networking tools Facebook and Zalo OA to run ads and introduce to customers. Because by habit, when there is a problem that needs to be handled, people will go online to search for services. On the social networking site providing multi-purpose services of the author group, there is a hotline and mailbox, customers can leave information, images of the space, and items that need to be handled. Quickly after that, the information portal department will receive and send a service quote. When the customer agrees to the price, the service will send personal information of some students in the right major, capable of handling the problem for customers to choose and know exactly who will come to their home to work for peace of mind.
According to teacher Le Huu Hung, because there is not much funding, the project currently has to rely on social media channels, hotlines and needs specialists to work at the gate to communicate with customers and technicians. In the future, when calling for investors, the project will write an application installed on the phone, when customers have a need, they will perform all operations on it. From selecting the need to handle the problem, sending information, images, receiving quotes, choosing technicians.
Through the above application, students only need to leave information, academic achievements, and pass a competency test to become a technician of the project. When the customer has a need and chooses the right student, the application will send a notification to that student's phone and participate in the work. Depending on the nature of the problem, the application will assign 1 or more technicians to handle it.
"Currently, there are many universities and colleges nationwide that offer training in construction, electricity and water, and the project can be widely deployed. Moreover, this will be a quality job channel for students to participate in after graduation. We hope to receive investment attention to deploy the application, bring useful solutions to people and create sustainable jobs for students" - said Mr. Le Huu Hung.
In recent years, the issue of waste classification at source has been launched by all levels, sectors and organizations to deeply implement among the people. However, the programs have not been effective, remaining at the movement level. Mr. Le Van Minh (Giao Ai village, Dien Hong commune, Dien Ban town) shared that through his survey, many people understand the positive impact of waste classification at source, but because there are no tools and motivation to implement, this issue has not received attention.
As a person working in the machinery manufacturing industry and concerned about environmental issues, Mr. Minh had the idea of a paid waste management and sorting device. Specifically, this device allows people to put in waste and it will be sorted into recyclable, organic and hazardous waste. For recyclable waste, people will receive an amount corresponding to the value, and for hazardous waste, people will have to pay for collection units to handle it.
"This garbage ATM solves the problem of tools for people to classify garbage and especially creates motivation with money received from recycled garbage. As for hazardous garbage, they have to pay, with a suitable fee, if they litter, they will be fined with a much larger amount" - Mr. Minh said.
To operate a paid waste sorting ATM, information technology is applied through the ERP model (a technology model integrating data collection, analysis, classification, etc.) and a smartphone application. Accordingly, people bring waste to the ATM location to declare their identification code using the QR Code through the phone application to enter information and choose a payment source through a bank account or personal financial applications. The management agency assigns human resources and specialized vehicles to collect waste at the ATM and then transport it to the treatment or recycling plant. Because there is no need for classification, the treatment and recycling process of the plant will be very effective. The center that operates and manages waste ATMs will grasp all information through the ERP software and the phone application with customer data.
Mr. Minh shared: "For the garbage ATM project to be feasible, it is necessary for the government to cooperate in strictly enforcing environmental laws. In developed countries, just littering will result in a fine being sent home by the authorities. In Vietnam, although there are many regulations, they are only deterrent and warning. Therefore, in the short term, this ATM will be suitable for school environments, apartment buildings, and businesses with a large workforce...".
According to Mr. Minh, the investment cost for each of these garbage ATMs is about 3 billion VND, so his project is still an idea and has been recognized by the Provincial People's Committee as a creative startup idea in 2024. Recently, he was fortunate to connect with an investor in Ho Chi Minh City. In the near future, they will invest in implementing this garbage ATM to pilot it in some places in big cities.
