The ALDABA-WIB Chair once again participated in the Internship and Job Fair organized by the Faculty of Computer Science at the UDC, an event aimed at students who will undertake curricular internships in companies next academic year.
During the Fair, the three finalist projects for the Eighth FIC Award for Best Applied Bachelor’s Thesis were presented, and the winner was announced: Pablo Mariño Boga for his thesis “Development of a Device for Monitoring Environmental Quality Markers.” The device enables multiple applications, such as controlling room temperature and humidity, lighting, and air quality, or even detecting fires and noise exposure, among others.
The ALDABA-WIB, CICAS (Sngular-CoruNet), and NTTData chairs sponsor this annual award, which is supported by the ICT Research Center (CITIC) and the University of A Coruña Foundation. It comes with a €1,500 prize for the winner and two runner-up awards of €500 each for the other two finalist entries.
In this edition, the companies supporting the chairs selected the three best projects from among the fifteen submitted, all of which were final degree projects awarded Matrícula de Honor (Honors) in the 2021/22 academic year. The runners-up were the works “Android Phone Positioning System Based on the Physical Properties of Sound,” by Rubén Somoza Domínguez, and “Academic Degree Validation System Based on Blockchain Technologies,” by Gabriel Fernández Blanco.
Twenty-four companies are participating in the Internship and Job Fair
On April 19 and 29, the 24 companies participating in the Faculty of Computer Science’s internship program will have information booths where they provide guidance to students. Likewise, the Faculty’s affiliated chairs hold conferences on some of the latest trends and lines of work in the ICT sector, while the UDC’s Career Services provides guidance on how to write a résumé and prepare for a job interview.
As part of this program, the ALDABA-WIB Chair offered the talk “How Smart Companies Integrate Applications (API Management & API Orchestration),” delivered by Luis M. Rodríguez of ALDABA and Virginia Mato, director of the Chair.
