As a part of the weeklong celebration of the 86th Founding Anniversary of Adamson University, the Computer Engineering Department held an exhibit featuring the research designs of fourth year students. It ran from February 12-15, 2018 at the Ozanam building.
Using their excellent programming skills, the students were able to develop applications and prototypes of their research projects that mostly aim at helping the day-to-day lives of people. Some are designed to help students in their daily activities. One of these is Robo-Falcon, which can serve as an information center for the university. Developed by Kristine Estalilla, Michelle Gallanero, Aliza Seria, and Dominique Soliva, it uses artificial markup language among other software applications. For their part, Queenie Advincula, Edelyn Cabesas, Breven Gomez, and Marco Mateo created a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) event management system that easily helps settle payment of events held in the school.
Computer engineering seniors Kathleen Capiral, Apple Duabe, Clara Dumon, and Jonalyn Sapit created a machine that helps engineering students create a PCB fabrication through an automated kiosk. This helps them in fulfilling school requirements easily.
Most of the research projects are application-based, like ParkQueue, a smart parking reservation system developed by Romar Banta, Joshua Caponong, and Ed Lawrence Ngo; and a bike parking reservation system drawn up by Patrick De Jesus, Dominic De Jesus, Donna Evaristo, and Rhowie Gatea.
Another research project is a mobile application that helps its users reserve seats in public utility buses. This was developed by Salvador Imperial Jr., Christian Layacan, Jose Manuel Leyva, and Mico Vital and it also includes a cashless system of payment using QR codes. Still another research project related to public utility vehicles is an online bus monitoring system for improper loading and unloading of passengers, done by the team of Reina Caballo, Judith Cruz, Trixia Tuazon, and Faye Villegas.
Other dynamic research designs covered the area of security. The project developed by Jose Enrico Amante, Dylan Lopez, Franz Romero, and Jayson Toledo give a real-time alert and reposting system to the barangay office when street violence occurs. A military smart watch developed by Mark Eleda, Kirkpatrick Enriquez, and Jellis Estrella helps military commanders in the base unit communicate with their deployed men. Lastly in designs for security, a smart hardhat was developed by Edrian Barandino, Kryzel Espelimbergo, Adrian Go, and Lance Vinalon in order to reduce accidents that occur in construction sites. A special feature of the hat is its ability to alert the wearer/construction worker if his hardhat is removed; it can also detect impact it receives in cases of accidents.
The bulk of the research designs are meant to help in the medical care of patients particularly in health centers and hospitals. One is a vest to prevent pressure ulcer, more commonly known as bedsores. This vest developed by Keen Adulfina, Von Rufo, Dan Tating, and Willfred Tauro prompts the system when the patient needs to shift positions in order to prevent sores. Another is a poor-posture correcting device that is connected to a mobile application which closely monitors the posture of the person wearing the device and offers posture correcting exercises. This was developed by Angela Libera, Jenmar Marquez, Elton Panaligan, and Martin Sarte. A system was also created by Janine Alday, Art Mendoza, Aron Malaca, and Athena Reyes which checks the patient’s vital signs in real time and allows a communication between doctor, nurse, and patient through a local web server and mobile application.
An assistive cane for the blind was developed by Rico Agno, Michael Bautista, Julia Gutierrez, and Charlton Yalong, which enables the caretaker to closely monitor the blind person through a mobile application that is connected to the cane.
