In-Class Project Showcase AUG23

Algonquin College – Project Management Club

The PM Club successfully orchestrated an engaging series of events that bridged the gap between theory and practice for Project Management students. We organized and executed a “Games Night,” 3 hour event, which attracted more than 75 students, with a creative blend of fun and learning, with a live performance creating a vibrant community among students. This event not only served as an icebreaker for new members but also as a platform for senior students to share insights and experiences, enhancing peer learning.

Further, we worked as a backbone to one of our main events which is a networking event titled “PM Connect,” which saw participation from PM professionals and alumni, providing students with valuable networking opportunities and insights into real-world project management challenges and solutions. The event facilitated meaningful connections, opening doors for co-op and job prospects.

Our commitment to learning and development was also evident through our interactive talks with PMP certified professors through our social media. These sessions, were led by PMP certified professionals and esteemed faculty, which covered a range of topics from agile methodologies to change management, equipping members with the latest trends and skills in the field.

Moreover, we doubled the club’s membership, within three months of taking on the PM Club with our strategic outreach to the PM students and engaging content on our social media platforms. This growth not only reflects the club’s rising popularity but also its impact on the student community. These initiatives not only elevated the club’s profile but also significantly contributed to the personal and professional growth of its members, establishing a legacy of excellence and innovation in project management education at our institution and established a strong foundation for future project managers.

EnviroTech H2O Renewable Powered Desalination System


Project Summary:

A renewable-powered ocean water desalination device was designed and built to help alleviate the growing issue of water scarcity. It will run exclusively on renewable energy and have little to no negative environmental impact.

Project Description:

A small-scale proof of concept prototype was designed and built to turn ocean water into potable fresh water. The system will be powered by a solar panel and portable power station and utilizes LabView and a MyDAQ to control the process.

AUTOMATED WEIGHT SORTING SYSTEM

Packages of different weight are picked by robotic arm to the load cell. At this point load cell calculate the weight of the package and divide to the pallets according to the weight. Fragile items are separated to a different pallet.

OneBastion

In response to growing cybersecurity risks and demand for remote work, OneBastion offers organizations an affordable authentication system for cloud-based workloads. The target users include NGOs like the Children’s Aid Society of Algoma. Commercial products specializing in cloud-based authentication sometimes are too costly for institutions and small businesses with limited budgets. OneBastion is explicitly designed to help such organizations to manage their cybersecurity risks. It only allows authenticated users to access sensitive applications such as Microsoft 365 (Outlook, OneDrive and more) and the cloud-based applications owned by the organizations. It significantly reduces the attack surface because intruders cannot log in to sensitive corporate applications without first authenticating to the secure bastion host.

Algonquin Cloud development and Operations Websire

Our project is a static website build on Jekyll for Algonquin’s cloud development program. Which we have not only current but future and past students as well to have better understanding of courses provided, the material and extra knowledge which will be provided by website’s in build blog system and last but not least it will help students to connect with their professor more easily.

KnowQuest 3.0

KnowQuest project has been making significant strides in its mission to revolutionize the way businesses gather and understand customer experiences. The platform serves as an advanced feedback mechanism, aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional feedback systems through the implementation of custom credibility checks, enhanced data security measures, and the generation of actionable insights.

• Technologies: MongoDB, React.js, Node, Express, AWS, JavaScript.
• Collaboration With Humber Backend Team and KnowQuest Developers Team.
• Fixing the Google Authentication using the user email ID
• Adding more feature to the home page with the required categories for instance video games, coffee, wine and so on.
• Add Search Filters: TV Shows, Movies, Video Games, Academia.

Educate

Physician training programs must include not only clinical experiences but also a comprehensive academic curriculum that fulfills the requirements of the specialty regulatory bodies. Currently, across the Canada and internationally, most physician training programs work independently to provide academic curriculum to their learners. While the COVID19 pandemic opened the door for unique virtual learning opportunities and occasional collaboration between nearby centres, educational leaders still struggle with the coordination of content delivery, expert recruitment, and duplication of work. This project is intended to provide an on-line cloud-based community where training program leaders can engage with leading clinical experts and researchers across Canada to develop and deliver comprehensive academic programming. This platform will make it easy for educational leaders to connect with key experts across the country, schedule presentations or access pre-recorded sessions. In addition, this platform will allow learners to access up-to-date and on-demand presentations, evaluate the sessions and connect with a wide variety of expert clinicians across the country, providing opportunities for mentor ship.

HiddenView Herefords

Our project was set around redesigning a website from the ground up using ASP.NET and C# framework for a farm based out of Peterborough focused on selling their beef products and hereford show cows. The website we were originally given lacked major functional features our clients were heart set on having, so by working closely with them we created a website with their specific requests along with the future proofing of teaching our client how to take complete control of the back end of this website after completion.
