Student projects

Exposing our students to multicultural, multidisciplinary innovation projects is key to helping them become responsible citizens with the global mindset to drive real change in the world.

Projects that Impacts the Industry and Community

Everything that can be created has been created. These words ring true for many industries and we are seeing patterns in fashion, trends and other elements in our daily lives reappear only to fade into obscurity again. 

 

This ebb and flow is true for almost every sector except for the ICT sector. The ICT sector is at the forefront of creating solutions, products and services that have never existed before. This is what makes CT so alluring and fascinating. One’s limitations are only as wide as one’s imagination. Essentially, if you can dream it you can make it happen with IT.

Horizon Signal Technologies provides portable traffic signals to construction companies to use during road construction. These trailers utilize solar power to keep them running for as long as they are needed at the project.
Our team designed a system of components to unload 100 sheets of glass from a fully-loaded harp rack. The platform was designed to support and move a harp rack in a straight line as the pusher unloads glass.
A linear Actuator is a mechanical device that converts energy to create motion in a straight line, this stands in contrast to a conventional electric motor that creates circular motion. Linear actuators can be used to apply force to any given object, these types of motion include: blocking, clamping, ejecting, lifting, descending, pushing or pulling.
Use of drones to detect and attack targets has already been employed by militaries around the world, but the cutting edge use of intra-drone communication for rapid detection will help put Lockheed Martin in the forefront of defense electronics.
The goal of this project is to help the average greenhouse farmer monitor plant health, in order to maximize their crop production, by pinpointing the specific problem so they can implement a solution. Due to the multifaceted nature of this project, the solution incorporated three major areas, which were a robot, camera system and sensor applications.
The design of this probe has entered Phase II, which seeks to improve the electrical system of this device. This includes improving the sensors currently present, adding new sensors, and modifying the design to allow the circuit to be more durable. Throughout this process, the sponsors possessed strong control over the progression of the design.

Boeing Project

REMOTELY CONTROLLED MARS ROVER
With a budget of $1000 from Boeing, our students collaborated with students from Melbourne University to design a safe, internet-based control system for a Mars Rover.
The system enabled ‘pilots’ from Belgium Campus to remotely control the Mars Rover to pick up surface samples.

Lockheed Martin Project

Lockheed Martin Project Intra-drone communication for collision-free flying

Our students teamed up with electrical engineering students from Penn State University to design and build custom, lightweight drones for Lockheed Martin. The software our students developed allowed the drones to scan a crowd of people/surface area whilst freely flying and navigating.

RESNA

THE HOPE PROJECT DISABILITY APP
EXPRESSING EMOTION THROUGH AAC
Our students, in partnership with Electrical Engineering students from Penn State University, won the 2016 RESNA Student Design Competition.
They designed a device that allows individuals with motor neurone disease, who use Augmented Alternative Communication (AAC), to express their emotions.

Smart Connect

Smart Connect is a system that enhances effective communications between citizens and the government to maximise service delivery. Smart Connect not only facilitates interactions between the public and the specific service departments through a single point of communication, it also visualises all processes and requests. This allows accurate, strategic decision-making by the municipality’s top management and the correct allocation of resources.

Alongside this, Smart Connect visualises the quality of service delivery. This allows for the efficient handling of service and maintenance requests. In this way, citizens have an effective technological tool to communicate with the municipality’s departments and follow up on their requests.

Solmon Solar​

Together with students, Botlhale Village and head lecturer Francois Venter are working on a project called Solar Monitoring or Solmon.

The system has been designed for use in remote areas where access to electricity grids is difficult. This project will be used to power schools and other facilities in rural areas.

What makes the Solmon system so unique is that it allows remote monitoring of the system, meaning that a technician does not have to be notified before coming out to do repairs or to stay on site. To do this, the entire system is connected to the internet and system parameters are sent wirelessly to the monitoring station wherever it is.

The monitoring system also allows the technician to control aspects of the system wirelessly via an internet connection, allowing relays to be switched on and off and parts of the system to be shut down in an emergency.

The software section of the system is ready for roll-out with the standard and existing hardware requirements. Solmon has already been installed in Mozambique. As a new and unique system in the realm of solar power supply, Solmon is a testament to the vision and capabilities of Belgium Campus.

Skillville

SKILLVILLE is a game and multimedia tool for children to learn important competencies in addition to what they are learning in school. These competencies include financial education, political awareness, technical understanding and social participation skills. It also has a strong focus on creating awareness about social problems such as the abuse of drugs, tobacco and alcohol as well as the prevention of this abuse. This tool has already been successfully implemented in Belgium and is already assisting children to understand the advantages, disadvantages and the consequences of the actions they take. This is one example of how, through gaming and ICT, one can bring about social change to prevent children and future generations from experiencing very real social problems such as poor money management skills and drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse.
