Maryland Tech College Seeks Funding for Web Development Initiatives

On Monday, May 4, the William V.S. Tubman University’s College of Engineering and Technology hosted a one-day symposium focused on web development within the Department of Computer Science. This event was designed to encourage digital innovation amongst students.

The gathering took place in the Audio Visual Room at the primary campus of the university located in Harper, Maryland County. It convened over 30 computer science students who engaged in an interactive discussion focused on addressing real-world issues via technological solutions.

The forum featured six web-based platforms created by advanced students, encompassing a digital complaints site, a facial recognition attendance monitor, a network surveillance application, and a volunteer coordination system, along with several additional projects. According to organizers, the aim was to cultivate upcoming IT experts through real-world exposure to various web applications.

Felix Archie Blayon, who serves as both an IT director and an instructor at Tubman University, expressed his appreciation for the students’ zeal and commitment throughout the session. Additionally, he acknowledged the efforts of the faculty members in providing direction and support.

Blayon stated that the faculty’s mentoring program is a pragmatic approach aimed at equipping young individuals with the skills needed for success in the international digital marketplace. He added that these students will be well-prepared to thrive in the technological sector globally.

Blayon motivated students from various fields to explore computer science, emphasizing its role as a pathway to entrepreneurship and its importance as a vital ability in our current digital landscape.

In today’s age, scarcely any occupation remains untouched by computer technology,” he stated. “Being proficient in computer science places one among an elite group of professionals.

After the symposium, two attending students, Garshow W. Gbojueh and Mai S.J. Reed, showed gratitude for having the chance to put their academic knowledge into practice with real-life situations.

Gbojueh mentioned that this symposium provided an opportunity to transform our concepts into reality. It feels like a long-awaited achievement in our scholarly path.

Reed emphasized, “We encourage all stakeholders to increase their investment in information technology. This goes beyond mere skill development; it’s also about nurturing entrepreneurship and stimulating intellectual progress.”
