BSCoE exhibits Projects

by: Kyzelline Villena

Success for the graduating students of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering was never easy for them to attain with regards to their designed projects. Overcoming hardships and focus were the basic ingredients they have used to achieve their goals.

And after a long time, their designed project was now ready for implementation.

To showcase the five designed projects, STI College Balayan invited the graduating students to exhibit their project for the first time during the high school caravan conducted at Dacanlao G. Agoncillo National High School last March 25, 2011.

Students and teachers were amazed to see the first project exhibited, the Cell Phone Loading Machine which can be used to load prepaid cell phone users instead of going to the retail stores. The machine was able to load the different network provider like Globe, TM, Smart and Talk’nText.

Next was the LED Matrix Message Board which became students’ favorite during the exhibit. It can be used to display electronic messages by simply texting the message using the text format provided to the master reset module. It will automatically display the text message. It was tested by the students to broadcast their greetings to their friends using the project during the exhibit.

Students were also amazed on how the Tarpaulin Roller with SMS Application works. Developers explained to the high school students how the project works in particular when the speed of the wind increased.

The developers of the Wheelchair using the RF Technology showed that the project is capable of serving disabled persons to go from one place to another. Students tested the wheelchair for them to see with their own eyes that the project can really move using the built-in joystick or its remote control.

The last project of the BSCoE exhibited was the Door Security System with the Application of SMS and Bluetooth technology. Students learned that the Bluetooth technology can now be use as vital component for security. The project was the STI College Balayan’s entry for the upcoming Most Outstanding Thesis Award deliberation on April 25, 2011.

As the exhibit ends, the soon to be engineers left a hope and a new path to walk with to the high school graduating. The BSCoE showed that taking up their course was never easy but if you put your dedication to something that can make your dreams come true, nothing is impossible and dreams are never hard to reach. ALTO SPIRO, ALAS!
