A personal computer assembler for enthusiasts and a virtual walk-in-wardrobe are among the innovative solutions presented during the MCAST Institute of Information and Communication Technology’s annual Students’ Projects Day.

The event was held at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) Main Campus, in Paola.

During the exhibition, final year students from the National Diploma, Higher National Diploma and BSc Degree courses presented their final projects to major ICT industry stakeholders.

Mario Pace, the Institute’s Acting Director, explained that “it is our responsibility as educators not only to make sure that our students reach the required academic levels but also to give them the necessary skills and experience to establish their careers in the industry without difficulties. We achieve this goal through our curriculum as well as through such initiatives.” Over 50 students from the software, networks and multimedia streams exhibited their projects. These included various website applications to manage company, library and multimedia content, e-learning software, client subscription software, game character design, as well as unusual projects such as a calorie counter, a personal computer assembler for enthusiasts as well as a virtual walk-in-wardrobe that matches one’s clothes online via a customised database. Network students displayed network infrastructure proposals that can help local enterprises get faster data transmission and enhanced security while providing all-round efficiency of operation.
