Apart from monitoring, student attendance serves many other essential reasons. In certain universities, one of the prerequisites for a student to be eligible to take the final exam is to have completed the course. Pen and paper or a basic web-based system that requires time-consuming and challenging faculty monthly monitoring have been the methods of choice for documenting attendance in the majority of Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL). Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, this project attempts to design a Smart Attendance for Faculty Monitoring System to help faculty properly record, manage, and monitor students' attendance and class schedules in order to overcome the highlighted drawbacks. Iteration an incremental approach is an agile process used in the development of the system for Android-based devices. Therefore, a survey was sent to 140 Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM) lecturers and students in order to assess the system's functioning and usability. Purposive sampling was used to choose the respondents. According to the descriptive analysis, 87.9% of the respondents strongly agreed that the system assists lecturers to keep track of students' attendance, manage class schedules, and support faculty in monitoring student absenteeism.
