    me

    Hello, 
    My Dear Students, Assalamulaikum, and greetings to all of you. I'm Abdus Sattar, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Daffodil International University. I am also a PhD student at Bangladesh University Professionals(BUP).  My research topics covered Machine Learning and Computer Vision


    I have received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)  from Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) and a Master’s Program in Interactive Systems Engineering(ISE) from KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Previously, I was employed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of   Computer Science and Engineering(CSE) at Britannia University, Comilla


    In this semester I will take the course CSE325: System Analysis and Design, which deals with planning the development of information systems through understanding and specifying in detail what a system should do and how the components of the system should be implemented and work together.   We will also learn how System analysts solve business problems by analyzing the requirements of information systems and designing such systems by applying analysis and design techniques.
    I'm delighted that you are interested in taking our specialization. We have done our part to make this a rewarding educational experience. Now it's your turn, good luck.

                                      Early Childhood Development (ECD) is a growing, dynamic _eld that strives to meet the needs of vulnerable infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families. Quality care and protection in these years are keys to avoiding death, disease, stunted growth, trauma, malnutrition, and developmental delays while ensuring healthy growth, self-esteem, and the ability to learn. In order to formulate relevant, realistic, and targeted strategies to support children of working parents, ABC plans to conduct a study on the community and workplace context and early childhood beliefs, practices, and resources in these settings. The study will examine the early childhood knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of workers and caregivers (parents, extended family members, factory employees, and outreach workers), as well as the status of their children's development. The employees of the Garment Factories both in Dhaka and Chittagong were targeted. Along with many other variables, the survey collected data on working parents' income, housing condition, education, number of children kept with a caregiver, children’s age, number of hours kept with a caregiver, caregivers' identity, education, and age.
