Statistical analysis of final year project marks in the Computer Engineering Undergraduate Program

This study is to find the existence of discrepancy between the supervisor a nd assessor in project assessment. A systematic approach is suggested using statistical analysis. Project marks of the computer engineering program ob tained from the past two years are recorded using Excel and analyzed using SPSS. Using one-way analysis of variance, it is found that the reason for t he discrepancy is due to the excessively low marks given by the assessors. The outcome of this study helps to identify those projects that need to be reassessed. Standardization of the project assessment guarantees that the m arking is fair and truly reflects the student performance.
