Nowadays, higher education institutions and universities are facing a competitive environment for enhancing the quality of students to achieve extensive knowledge with critical thinking skills and a good personality for better employment in the industry. Universities and other higher education establishments ensure that students overcome the obstacles in these cutthroat environments. In order to do this, it is necessary to analyze the academic performance of each student by determining their strengths and weaknesses. A fuzzy expert system (FES) is used in this study to evaluate student’s academic performance. This FES uses fuzzy logic to classify each student’s performance based on a variety of linguistic factors. It classifies each student’s performance by considering various linguistic factors using fuzzy logic. For this purpose, seven significant input factors have been taken into account which is Stress, Motivation, Confidence, Parent’s support & Availability, Self study hours, Punctuality, and Friend circle. Several defuzzification techniques are applied in order to examine student performance using the FES & generate more precise and measurable results. These findings could aid colleges and other educational establishments in determining the right variables that influence student’s academic performance. Additionally, a comparison of various Mamdani fuzzy defuzzification techniques, including the centroid, bisector, and mean of maxima methods, is provided in this study. After comparing all three techniques by taking different scenarios of all the external factors, it has been concluded that all of them are performing equally.

When you are driving a car and you are being responsible for your co-passenger and other innocent being on the road, you should be extra responsible. Many fatal and minor accidents happen on the road due to the drowsiness of drivers only. Hence, there is a need to detect drowsiness while driving a car. It has become an important requirement for everyone’s safety. The main objective of this study is to create a highly accurate drowsiness detection system using methods that are both affordable and easy for any car manufacturer to include in their cars. The ultimate objective is to increase road user’s protection by raising the level of safety for both drivers and their cars. This study's main contribution is the implementation of a bimodule method for drowsiness detection. The first module effectively detects signs of drowsiness by analyzing a constant stream of images of the driver in real time using a reinforcement learning model. Simultaneously, the car's second module, which is built into the steering wheel grip, keeps track of the driver's hand pressure when performing turns and emergency scenarios. The findings of the study highlight how well the proposed system works to reduce the risks associated with drowsy driving. It further highlights the value of cutting-edge technology in protecting other drivers and improving driving safety, which has the potential to save lives and avoid accidents.
