IT Students at the University of Bahrain Develop Smart Service Applications
The College of Information Technology at the University of Bahrain showcased 50 graduation projects in computer science, computer engineering, and information systems. These projects stood out for incorporating artificial intelligence services, including the design and development of smartphone applications compatible with both Apple and Android systems.
Dr. Lamya Mohammed Al Jasmi, Dean of the College of Information Technology, stated, “The graduation projects reflect the students’ diverse interests and demonstrate their ability to develop innovative solutions using the latest technologies to address real-world challenges.” She noted that 119 students participated in these projects.
Dr. Al Jasmi highlighted that the projects explored cutting-edge technical fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, financial technology (FinTech), augmented and virtual reality, mobile and web development, image processing, and online learning. She emphasized that this variety aligns with the evolving demands of the labor market.
“The students completed these projects through teamwork, dedication, and effective time management,” Dr. Al Jasmi added. “The skills they’ve honed are essential for the professional world, and these innovations prepare them to become future entrepreneurs.” She stressed that the college aims to produce highly skilled graduates capable of driving economic growth and advancing services in Bahrain.
Dr. Amal Mohamed Al-Rayes, Chairperson of the Graduation Projects Exhibition Committee, remarked, “This ceremony highlights our students’ achievements and marks their transition into becoming productive contributors to Bahrain’s development.” She noted that graduation projects are a fundamental component of the college’s curriculum.
Among the notable projects, Information Systems students Dina Mohammed Saada and Hussain Abdulali Abdul Hassan developed a smart attendance-tracking app using facial recognition to streamline the process at the University of Bahrain.
Similarly, Amna Khalid Al-Mannai and Ahmed Saeed Asadallah created Aoun, a charitable platform connecting donors and beneficiaries with Bahraini charities. The app facilitates aid requests, donations, and financial or in-kind contributions. Another team—Aisha Aref, Jihan Malik, and Manal Hussain—designed an event-planning app to simplify organizing personal celebrations (e.g., birthdays) by managing bookings, service providers, and automated payments.
In Computer Engineering, Shahla Sayed Hashem Al-Hashemi and Zainab Hassan Shehab built a mask and social-distancing violation detection system using camera-based alerts. Meanwhile, Maysa Issa Abdullah and Aisha Mahmoud Hashem proposed a smart waste classification system to separate recyclable materials.
Computer Science students Farhan Ahmed, Bilal Shaber, and Najm Munawer explored smart glasses with motion control, temperature sensing, and voice assistance. Another team—Saif Saleh Mohammed, Qasim Abdul Hamid Al-Sufi, and Gibran Hussein Jubran—developed a machine learning-based app to detect road conditions using smartphone sensors. Additionally, Sumaya Jassim Dibwan and Shahd Abdulhadi Al-Enezi introduced a home-repair service app, enabling users to book appointments, communicate with providers, and leave reviews.
The graduation project is a mandatory credit requirement at the College of Information Technology. Each semester, the college organizes an exhibition showcasing these projects, which consistently attract interest from Bahrain’s professional sectors.
