Faculty of ICT Student Final Year Projects Exhibition 2015

An important and now familiar event on the calendar of the Faculty of ICT at the University of Malta is the Student Final Year Projects Exhibition (FYPE) coupled with the Dean’s List Awards ceremony.

This year the opening ceremony for this exhibition will be held on 9th of July at 7:00pm during which the work developed by the Faculty’s undergraduate final year students, awards acknowledging achievement of both academic and commercial relevance, and other collaborative activities and initiatives, will be showcased.

This year, the event will be opened by the Hon. Dr Joseph Muscat, Prime Minister of Malta. Throughout the academic year, the faculty also frequently hosts and organises various events, seminars, talks and visits, as well as conferences both exclusively and in collaboration with other entities.

This year’s FYPE will be showcasing around 70 projects, which relate to various aspects of ICT. These projects have different backgrounds and come from various fields of study – touching upon, but not limited to, such themes as software development and data science, information analytics, assistive and adaptive technologies, graphics and image processing, flow management and transport systems, security and surveillance solutions, testing, robotics, health and wellbeing, speech processing, programming paradigms, embedded systems and chip design, system modelling, social media and tools, code monitoring and correctness assurance tools, mobile technologies, video transmission, financial tools, hardware interfacing, and many other areas.

As is the spirit and intent of the Faculty, the exhibited projects are a mixture consisting of work that has a more readily discernable applicative nature and other work that has a more fundamental and conceptual nature. Whatever the focus, all projects exhibit a channel towards practical usefulness.

The ICT projects exhibition will be open to the general public on Friday 10th July between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm at the Faculty of ICT of the University of Malta. Moreover, the Faculty will hold a meeting for prospective students on the 10th of July starting at 4.00 pm, in the Faculty’s main auditorium.

During this meeting, the various degrees on offer from the Faculty will be explained and questions will be addressed. Attendees will then be given a tour of the exhibited projects.
