Dr. Lolwa AlSmeet |
| Project Summary: The objective of this project is to create the schedule for the next term. The process for create the schedule done manual by the department chairman. It starts by send email to all professors to cast their choices for the next term. The manual process are facing many problems. Depended on university rule to create the schedule, the professor who take same course in two sequentially term he should not take it for the next term, so the chairman also has to check for this rule. Some time there is unselected courses by any professor, or courses does not give to any professor. They face a problem with time and day distribution there is a course on the same level so it should not be on the same time. Our system consists of login page for student, admin and faculty. Student page, that contain list of courses for student to choose their next needed courses, professor page to choose their five favorite courses. Admin page contain year and semester, list of student selection, list of professor offering, list of remaining courses and final schedule. Based on university rule to create schedule. The basic idea of our system is to increase an automated fail process and facilitation the process of creates the schedule. | |||

Dr. Zainab AlMeraj |
| Project Summary: When choosing a physician a person may ask their family for advice or search online for recommendations. Their final choice results in an experience that may be good or bad. Being able to trust doctor ratings online based on people experience has long been argued but based on a user study we conducted people continue to search online to find more details about doctors before they book an appointment. We have designed a system that offers a doctor rating system that caters to the Kuwait population. The website system lists doctors based on area of expertese with full contact details and accumulated ratings and patient experience-based comments. We use Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL with elements of UI design and discuss accessibility options. | |||

If you're at work, you can use your provider's mobile application to watch what's happening around your baby via cameras with more suggestion, so you will know what your baby do during the day. Also they don't have to worry about their baby secure. On the other hand, now people are addicted to use the smart phone to facilitate life services. We are building this application to help parent while using their phones to make them assured of the safety of their babies. Also, when it comes to your baby, naturally you want only the best and safe things. The very best way to decide which baby monitor is best for you and your baby is to think carefully about the environment in which you live and work. | |||

This capstone project aims to participate in solving the problem and in spreading awareness to decrease the consumption. I-Tarshed System can be used to monitor the consumption in houses and buildings. The system consists of automatic readers of water and power consumptions which enable the owner to monitor the consumption and detect leakages and/or misusage points in real time and alerts the owner. Our system also provides the owner with daily, weekly, and monthly reports of utility consumption and compare it with local average and ideal consumption levels. Furthermore, i-Tarshed is able to control the lights and remotely opening and closing them, in addition to facilitating payments to utilities by connecting to the Ministry of Electricity and Water website. The system can be easily installed in new and existing building with minimal costs and efforts. | |||

| Spring 2016/2017 | Kuwait Book Fair App | Laila Al Senawi, Moudhi Al Mejbel, Aseel Al Enezi |
Dr.Loluwa Alsumait |
| Project Summary: Kuwait Book Fair is held annually in Kuwait by the National Council for Culture, Arts and letters (NCAL). Looking for books in the book fair is not easy because the fair is scattered in large exhibition halls and hundreds of publishers' display booths with no assistance in searching by topic, author, or keywords. So, having a tool that allows the visitors to search for books even before reaching in the exhibition using different criteria of preference is very appealing and helpful both to the visitors, the publishers, and the organizer (NCAL). This project aims to create a mobile app using mobile application development tools for Kuwait Book Fair K-Books that will allow the visitors to search and view the books offered by the participated publishers. The app will also allow the visitor to reserve the book and to give him/her the direction to reach the booth (publisher section) at which the requested book is displayed. From the publisher's side, the app allows them to upload their book titles and details to the system from text files, handles reservation requests, and send offers and notifications to the app users. The app can be easily extended to any other Fair which will provide a good place for the exhibitors to connect and allocate the customers and for the customers to find the products that they are targeting. | |||

| Fall 2014/2015 | Bitcoin-Client Wallet Program | Noor Al Saed, Salwa Mohammed, Hessan Al Hajri |
Dr. Omar Al Ibrahim |
| Project Summary: In conclusion, we use window builder as GUI – Graphical User Interface - tool in eclipse software to create an e-wallet interface for bitcoin. it was the first time that we used window builder so, we faced many difficulties in understanding the way its work and how we can write its code. Bitcoin needs strong Internet connection to work efficiently, and its also needs a lot of plug-in software like, maven and javaFX. We keep searching in internet and asking the instructor to help us understanding the code and the way of using window builder. We add many features at our interface. For example, send coins, show wallet address, and logging view text box. In the future we hope to add more features in the interface such as; barcode, transaction history, and block chain download progress. We get new experience using bitcoin and window builder, and we are sure that we will use it in the future to do more useful application. | |||

| Fall 2014/2015 | Smart Refrigerator | Zahra'a Abbas, Dana Baqer, Dama Al Oun |
Dr. Hanady Abdul Salam |
| Project Summary: Smart Refrigerator is a system to help the user using the refrigerator in easy way. We had built a system for a touch screen that is on the refrigerator door and its show what is inserting and removed from it. And we had built Smart Phone application to know what is inside the refrigerator form anywhere. We expect to increase the size of the database to fit the requirements and needs. Also, we expect that the smart refrigerator designed with the display in an appropriate manner and streamlined. The RFID that we use has a certain distance which is 10 cm. We expect in the future that the distance will be up to infinite. We expected in the future the RFID will replace barcode. Because the barcode has many disadvantage its can be damaged easily and must show the barcode directly to the reader machine. But the RFID not easy to damage and it's against water and unbreakable. Also the tags can use it indirectly or around the RFID and can work perfectly and fixable. We had developed our self and we learn to use new programs such as visual basic and XDK Intel for Smart Phone application. And also we learn and enjoy doing the Application. I hope that our project it's useful for the user especially the parents and for companies. | |||
