Students at University of Limerick had their innovative and socially focused final year projects (FYP) showcased at the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems’ FYP Demo Day.
The Computer Systems programme at UL aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to become successful and effective computer professionals by giving learners the experience of being involved in the development of computer-based systems promises to be an exciting and indispensable career for the foreseeable future.
The scope of industry in which the Computer Systems programme supports student progression in software-based systems development in all kinds of systems, including smart cities, smart homes, social networks, manufacturing, finance, education, medicine, transport, and entertainment.
Among this year’s final year students putting their work on display was Róisín Mitchell, originally from Laois and now living in Limerick city, who is studying a Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems.
For her final year project, Róisín created an AI system for safe addiction recovery support. Her project looks at how AI can offer supportive, recovery-focused responses while using strong safeguards to stop unsafe or inappropriate advice from reaching vulnerable users.
Annika Jungfleisch, from Bremen in Germany and also based in Limerick city, is a student on the Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design who also had her FYP on display. For her final year project, Annika created a 3-D printed smart replica of an ancient Greek statue, transforming ancient artefacts from silent objects into interactive storytellers to enhance visitor engagement and learning in museums.

Jason Cushen from Quilty in Co. Clare is a student on UL’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems. For his final year project, Jason, who plays football with Kilmurry Ibrickane, developed a web-based Gaelic football analysis tool, designed to help coaches at the club level gain detailed insights into their teams’ matches
The aims and objectives of the Computer Systems programme include to develop the skills learners will need to analyse a wide range of problems; to provide a sound understanding of the theory of computer science and the principles of software development; to be a competent practitioner in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science; to develop social and communication skills that will enable students to function successfully in organisations and teams; and to develop a sense of professionalism that will help students to apply their skills for the good of society.
