Innovation Unleashed: Southville’s CITE 2026 Capstone Exhibit

Southville International School and Colleges’ College of Information Technology and Engineering (CITE) successfully conducted Southville’s CITE 2026 Capstone exhibit. The event highlighted graduating Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) and Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCPE) students as they presented breakthrough projects. Driven by sustainable engineering and intelligent software, these projects were engineered to solve real community issues, improve lives, and advance sustainability.

Every presenter demonstrated how their academic background converted directly into actionable solutions. While the concepts varied, every participant shared a unified objective: building technology for the future economy. By combining specialized hardware with AI-powered systems, these projects address challenges well beyond campus grounds. Here is a closer look at key highlights from Southville’s CITE 2026 Capstone showcase.

B-Safe: An Evacuation Record Management System

Developed by BSIT student John Joshua Delfin, B-Safe is a specialized record management system created for the Las Piñas City Hall CSWD. Utilizing OurSQL, the system streamlines evacuation data management across three dedicated user interfaces:

  • Data Entry Interface: Allows LGU personnel to log evacuee master lists, historical records, and site allocations.
  • Aid Distribution Log: Tracks the distribution history and costs of food and non-food relief supplies per family.
  • Admin Dashboard: Provides authorized administrators full data visibility and user management access.

Because the Philippines frequently experiences tropical cyclones, LGUs require centralized, real-time data to navigate disaster response and optimize aid distribution. This project highlights how Southville’s CITE 2026 Capstone projects address urgent public needs.

Embedded Electronic Nose for Indoor Air Classification

Computer Engineering student Arvin Valero designed an automated sensor device paired with software to classify indoor airborne gases. The compact hardware integrates three key sensors: the PMS7003, BME688, and Winsen ZE07-CO.

The system continuously samples ambient air. When air quality changes, it enters a “Transitioning Air” state. If PM2.5 levels spike to 500, the system automatically classifies the gas as either vape aerosol or cigarette smoke. Designed for spaces without video surveillance, this project helps schools maintain air quality and enforce no-smoking policies.

TrackGuard: Real-Time Cyclist Safety and Monitoring

Created by BSIT student Gabriel Babodilla, TrackGuard addresses critical safety gaps in competitive and recreational cycling—particularly on isolated mountain terrains.

TrackGuard equips event organizers with a centralized database and real-time mapping system to monitor participant locations throughout a race. If a rider experiences a crash, the user’s mobile device detects continuous violent shaking and automatically triggers an emergency alarm to alert race officials and medical teams instantly.

 

Shaping Tomorrow Through Student Innovation

The solutions presented during Southville’s CITE 2026 Capstone event reflect the institution’s core mission: transforming complex real-world problems into practical, life-enhancing technologies.
