The
project defense put up by Mr. Effiong Fortune Idorenyin with matriculation
number AK13/NAS/CSC/012 made one of the greatest impact during the exercise and
Prof. Longe was intrigued by Mr. Effiong.
Mr.
Effiong Fortune’s work was on the topic “Bluetooth-Based Remote Control
System for Electrical Appliances”.
He had developed a Bluetooth controlled electric bulb/fan. Through his
research, he had developed a program, installed in a mobile phone that could
help power on an electric fan or bulb. After explaining his case in detail, he
relocated to the end of the lab, and with his mobile device that looked like an
android phone, he demonstrated his project. With just a click, the bulb came
on. And with another click, it was off. He did same for the electric fan. He
also regulated the fan with mere clicks form his mobile phone. He had thrilled
the audience. Unfortunately, he told us that the only limitation of his device
was distance.
He
said the device could only function within a ten meter radius. After his
presentation, Prof. Longe was so fascinated that he doled out benefits on
Fortune. Some of which are:
- Prof. Longe invited him to present the same work at the International
Conference of Computing, coming up at Lagos between
April/May this year.
- He promised Fortune a free to and fro airline ticket
- He promised Fortune free accommodation and feeding.
- At the end, Prof. Longe stated that he was so encouraged by the quality of works he saw. To that end, he promised a free publication of any paper that came out of these works. Again, he promised to give a 67% discount to any member of staff from the department of Computer Science, Akwa Ibom State University that is interested in attending the International Conference.
- He also donated proceedings of conferences, journals, and fliers to the department.
- Finally, he thanked the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Eno J. Ibanga and members of council, for granting him the opportunity of experiencing great innovations in this part of the country.
Prof.
Olumide Longe charged the director of ICT (Dr. Etebong Isong) who doubled as a
lecturer in the department, to see a way of incorporating some of the research
works that used the school as a case study at the ICT department. He emphasized
that this will greatly improve the visibility, standard and overall
acceptability of the school. Congratulations to the Graduating students of
Computer Science department and indeed Akwa Ibom State University. Well done
and keep the flag flying
