Getting a certification is one of the most complicated academic journeys for students in the world of technology. Industry certification has evolved into a distinct worldwide industry. The certification is an examination to evaluate students’ technical knowledge and competency in their chosen areas. Students and recent graduates pursue certification because it gives them an advantage in the job market and allows them to concentrate on relevant, meaningful, and in-demand computing subjects. Giving students the best academic support is essential to help them pass a certification exam evaluating their knowledge in courses. The goal of this study was to create a certification reviewer-based system that would let the reviewee provide a platform for review so that appropriate academic interventions could be automatically given before the examination process. The paper has applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to various information systems. The paper used the Rapid Application Development Model to develop the reviewer-based system. Document analysis, survey questions, and focus group conversations were used to gather the data. The validated survey questionnaire was administered to students, instructors, and practitioners during the School Year 2021-2022. The three groups of respondents were purposively selected as they complied with the requirements of the study. The data was analyzed quantitatively using the frequency distribution, weighted mean, and one-way variance analysis of variance.

The college entrance examination is vital for program admission. Typically, entrance examinations are conducted onsite using paper and pens. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the entrance examination was lifted and physical gatherings were prohibited. Since many schools cannot offer an online admissions exam, they rely on grades and interviews to admit and qualify students for degree programs. However, academic standards differ between schools, and grades may not be enough to assess students' capacity. Thus, this study aims to develop an Online Proctored Entrance Examination System (OPEES) with Degree Program Recommender for colleges and universities to help institutions administer onsite or online entrance tests and generate course suggestions using a rulebased algorithm. The study employed the scrum methodology in software development. OPEES allows applicants to submit applications online, and institutions can manage user accounts, tailor exams and degree programs’ criteria, manage exam dates, and assign proctors. Online proctoring using Jitsi, an opensource multiplatform voice, video, and instant messaging tool with end-to-end encryption, ensures exam integrity. The system’s features were evaluated by 102 respondents, comprised of end-users (students and school personnel) and IT professionals, using the FURPS (Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Performance, and Supportability) software quality model. In the software evaluation, the overall system proved to be functional as perceived by the respondents, as manifested by the mean rating of 4.61. In conclusion, the system's architecture was deemed feasible and offers a better way to streamline admission examinations and determine a student’s applicable degree program by enabling institutions to customize their exams and degree program requirements. It will be beneficial to look into recommendation system algorithms and historical enrollment data to improve the system’s use case.

The electro-mechanical salted egg grading system was developed to support producers by streamlining the cleaning process, delivering a sorted outcome, saving time, decrease human resources needs, labor costs, and minimized egg breakage, consequently boosting production efficiency. OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) was employed as a development platform and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B as a microcomputer due to its speedier and more powerful CPU, which is required to operate the system's components and process the acquired images for classification. In addition, a Raspberry Pi camera module V2 was employed to capture the images for scanning, LED bulb for candling, and an SG90 micro servo for sorting. Furthermore, we used B66 and B35 V-belts for the conveyor assembly. An induction motor of 0.125 horse power is used to rotate the conveyor assembly, a chain, and sprocket to reduce its speed. The researchers also used soft bristles brushes which are ideal for cleaning the eggshell. For cleansing, sprinklers were used along with the water PVC pipe that holds pressurized water of 30 psi. The camera's captured images are categorized as clean, dirty, well-pickled, and spoilt eggs. Empirical results exhibited that the detection accuracy achieved 96% and 93% for cleanliness and quality, respectively. It establishes the model and prototype's robustness in cleaning, sorting, and grading salted eggs.
