During this presentation the Students in their last semester of their undergraduate program as Software engineering majors, showcase their innovative software projects which they have worked on since their enrollment in school as a requirement for their graduation.
Here is an overview of the Projects presented today:
Dennis Ambindi Mobile accounting system
The solution presents a mobile accounting application that records all transactions for small scale retailers. The technologies used are j2me, http, mysql and php. This is a book keeping system that will help small business owners to better manage their accounting records by providing a user friendly interface. The solution does not require the user to have complex prior accounting knowledge. Reports are generated and sent via sms and or pop ups while running the application

Smart Attendance System
It is an attendance system for students in an institution it comprises of technologies such as Android Mobile Application, Online JSP System and USSD mobile system. The entire project involves automating the picking of attendance and clearing the absences resulting thereof. The students only need to present their student ID and swap it on the smart card reader to indicate their attendance in the appointment. Further, absences can be checked conveniently from the mobile phone.The system has been developed in Java, android, php,and jsp programming languages.
Edith NyaundiPrison management system is a simple prison maintenance system, It helps an administrator to know what business goes inside the prison, check for leave days approve or decline requests, also has a report folder gives reports to the administrators.
Godfrey Richard Alembi
In his own words Godfrey explains “My project is a Computer generated image (CGI) of a waving flag using blender, CGI is the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images.”
He says that “If you want to make an advertisement yet you do not have the funds to hire actors and film crew you could create an animated clip for your advertisement using a 3D computer graphics software product.”
Francis Mbuthia MwangiIntelligent Mobile Image Scanner is an intelligent mobile+ image recognition application.Utilizing prestored data in a MySQL server, randomized captured images are processed and actual persons with all details embedded are converted to useful, relevant yet accurate and valid information. It is predesigned with a deep consideration for utility in security and surveillance systems.
Francis is also a co- founder of SoftCall Communication which is; A systems Developer firm integrating Software development, APIs and Software Integration with a kernel thinking of a futuristic approach with a main vision of solving all-human dimensions problems in a universal and on a platform of technology systems. SoftCall seeks to entwine hard and soft technology with peace as the ultimate of all its projects.
The Head of the Department of Information Systems Mr. Joshua Ndiege says that the projects that are presented are amazing and they tackle real life problems around our society but the biggest problem is that these projects are just presented as a requirement for graduation and many at times they end here at the presentation room. Very few projects at this point end up in the real world while many of them die out.
On a meeting with him a while before the presentation on a discussion on a TECHUB based at this University that is meant to empower the innovators in this University and others around the region Mr. Joshua Ndiege says he has intentions of changing the way senior projects are done, he explains that the students will be encouraged to go and implement the projects in real world scenarios so that instructors can go out there were the projects are implemented and grade them according to their performance and problem solving potential, by so doing the projects will have helped in the betterment of the community before they are graded in School.
