Our Knight Foundation School of Computing & Information Sciences (KFSCIS) Capstone 2 teams present their projects online. The summer showcase is hosted by KFSCIS on its own and held virtually — Capstone 2 students only. Time, join link, and agenda will be announced closer to the date.
Projects span our computing disciplines: Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Data Science & AI.
When & how
Get involved
Part of the FIU CEC Senior Design Showcase
Beyond our own summer showcase, our KFSCIS Capstone 2 teams also present at the College-wide CEC Senior Design Showcase — the big spring event at the FIU Arena / Ocean Bank Convocation Center, with ~500 graduating seniors across 8 industry pavilions. Two of those pavilions are where our computing projects fit: Enterprise IT & Cybersecurity and AI & Machine Learning. For that joint event's logistics, registration, sponsorship, and judging, see capstone.cec.fiu.edu. Our Summer KFSCIS Virtual Showcase above remains our own primary event.
About our showcases
Each term, our Knight Foundation School of Computing & Information Sciences (KFSCIS) seniors present their Capstone Projects — what we historically called Senior Projects. Summer showcases are hosted by KFSCIS on their own and held virtually. Fall showcases are typically coordinated with the broader College of Engineering & Computing (CEC) — sometimes co-located, sometimes spanning two days or multiple locations. Spring is the College's flagship Senior Design Showcase, bringing together students from every CEC school and department — across the College these projects are known as Senior Design Projects — typically on the last Friday of the semester, just before finals week, often at the FIU Arena. This site focuses on KFSCIS Capstone Projects; when an event is held jointly with the College, we'll note it, but our showcase pages center on our own students and their work.

The projects
Posters and videos appear as teams publish them — check back as showcase day approaches.
"Delivery Rush" A 3D Delivery Driver Video Game in Unity
This project is focused on creating a 3D video game, using software such as Unity game engine and Blender, in which a player drives a car around a city picking up and delivering food orders to earn money within a limited time frame. Team members will learn to use the Unity scene editor to create custom game levels while using the C# programming language for scripting and GUI. Our group will also create our own asset models in Blender. Depending on time and group pacing, our team may also create custom graphic/animation/sound assets for our project.
Capstone Collaboration Platform
Curriculink
Curriculink is a platform designed for teachers to be able to share pre-existing lesson plans and other teaching materials with other teachers. Users can upload their own lesson plans while keeping track of ownership, edits, versions, and can browse other lesson plans submitted by other teachers.
Emplora
MyLittleLibrary
OBDII Car/Code Scanner
OBD Suite is a native Windows diagnostic application that turns a vehicle's raw OBD-II data into clear, actionable information - live sensor readings, trouble codes explained in plain language with severity, freeze-frame snapshots, and a 0-100 vehicle-health score. Every feature works identically over a custom-built ESP32 scanner, any commercial ELM327 adapter, or the built-in software emulator, all behind one unified interface - so drivers, students, and independent mechanics can diagnose any OBD-II vehicle without a costly dealer visit or proprietary tools.
Study Buddy
Mini Security Operations Center Dashboard
The Mini Security Operations Center Dashboard provides real‑time visibility into authentication activity across a Windows domain. Using Splunk Enterprise and Windows Event Logs, the system detects failed logons, account lockouts, and other security events. It offers a lightweight SOC model suitable for small organizations.
SecureShop
SecureShop is a web-based shopping cart application developed to demonstrate e-commerce functionality while evaluating common cybersecurity risks. The project includes a cybersecurity risk assessment using OWASP ZAP to identify vulnerabilities, rate risks, and recommend security controls. Key findings included SQL Injection, Reflected Cross-Site Scripting, missing CSRF protection, and missing HTTP security headers.
Centralized Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Identity Management Server
A centralized authentication and authorization service that replaces per-service access checks with one trusted authority. Users log in once, and the server issues a signed RS256 JWT carrying their roles and permissions; every downstream request is validated against that single source of truth rather than decided locally. Built by a five-person capstone team as a Go auth server, a Go downstream resource service, and a normalized PostgreSQL RBAC schema, orchestrated with Docker Compose.
Hotel Active Directory
IT Service Desk & Asset Management System
This Zoom demonstrates our IT Help Desk Ticketing System and Asset Management, showcasing , ticket creation, ticket management, role based access control, administrative features, and the overall workflow of the application.
NovaCore Technologies: AI-Powered Smart Infrastructure and Security Solutions
Remote X
Remote X is a simple, secure, and user-friendly solution designed to help students, faculty, and everyday users access files, applications, and resources on their personal computers while away. It combines Chrome Remote Desktop with a guided dashboard, live system monitoring, secure setup practices, session controls, and optional Raspberry Pi Gateway and Wake-on-LAN simulations. The result is an IT solution that makes remote access easier to understand, prepare, and manage without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
Secure Clinic IT Infrastructure: Implementation, Deployment, and Security Validation
This project designed and deployed a secure, cloud-based IT infrastructure for a small healthcare clinic using Microsoft Azure and Windows Server technologies. The solution implements centralized user management, role-based access control, secure remote access, and data protection to improve security, reliability, and operational efficiency while safeguarding sensitive healthcare information.
Secure Network Infrastructure
BrightWay is a Flask-based web application that simplifies network infrastructure management by combining authentication, network management, firewall security, monitoring, reporting, and a centralized dashboard into one platform. The system provides a secure, user-friendly solution that helps small businesses and IT professionals manage their network more efficiently.
Web App Design and Configuration
Healing & Hope is a compassionate, web-based mental health platform designed to streamline intake processes and connect individuals with accessible care, symptom tracking, and support resources. Developed as an FIU capstone project, the system combines user-friendly tools like wellness check-ins and localized resource matching to empower individuals navigating emotional distress, mental health conditions, or crisis situations.
