MICRO-CONTROLLER BASED CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (MICGPA) CALCULATOR
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
As enrollment of students into tertiary education in Nigeria continues to increase, the need for an efficient and speedy method of measuring academic performance of students has become more significant. This study designed and implemented a Micro-Controller based cumulative Grade Point Average (MICGPA) Software calculator for easy and speed computation of CGPA of students. The aim of the study is to present a novel high speed, hand operated and cheap software calculator for processing students’ results. The software development process adopted modular technology in which each module has specific structure and function. In this study, the design depends on Micro-Controller (AT895S2) for the control, processing and storage functions. The software was developed based on High level C-language and compiled using Resonance Integrated Development Environment (RIDE). Results of computations with the new software calculator were found to agree with the manually computed results with a higher degree of precision.
