This annual event is a highlight for the college, where graduating students present their learnings through projects that demonstrate creativity, technical expertise, and real-world problem-solving abilities.

โ€œWorking on the Capstone project was an intense experience, but seeing it come to life and being able to present it to industry professionals is incredibly rewarding,โ€ says Max Doak, student in the Interactive Media Developer program. โ€œItโ€™s the perfect bridge between academics and the real world.โ€

Attendees can explore a variety of innovative solutions, such as an automated windvane system designed for Arctic expeditions, a mobile inspection app for property management, and a custom GPS tracker for search and rescue operations.

โ€œWe are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students have shown throughout their projects,โ€ says Saryta Schaerer, program chair of the Computer Science department at พรพรสำฦต College. โ€œThe symposium not only showcases their technical abilities but also their capacity to innovate and solve complex challenges. Itโ€™s a testament to the high caliber of education and training theyโ€™ve received here at พรพรสำฦต.โ€

The Capstone Symposium will take place on Friday, Aug. 16, 2024, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Centre for Trades Education and Innovation (CTEI) on พรพรสำฦตโ€™s Interurban campus. The event promises a day of discovery and dialogue. Students will present their projects, engage with guest speakers, and demonstrate their problem-solving skills.

The capstone aligned with the collegeโ€™s 2023-2028 strategic plan to offer more students an applied learning opportunity as part of Strengthening the พรพรสำฦต Advantage including capstone, service learning, work integrated learning, apprenticeship etc.
