Introduction The word “Mosaic” is derived from late Middle English: from French “mosaïque”, based on Latin “musi(v)um” ‘decoration with small square stones’. It can be defined as a combination of many different parts forming one thing. Mosaic: Design and Innovation: A Creative Compilation of Thesis and Capstone Projects of the College of Computer Studies and Multimedia Arts is the first creative compilation in FEU Alabang from different research from the Computer Studies department. The department is composed of the courses: • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with specialization in Software Engineering (BSCSSE), • Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with specialization in Animation and Game Development (BSITAGD), • Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with specialization in Digital Arts (BSITDA), • Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with Specialization in Service Management and/or Business Analytics (BSITSMBA), • Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with specialization in Web and Mobile Applications (BSITWMA), and • Bachelor in Multimedia Arts with specialization in Animation and Digital Film (BMA)

The aim of Mosaic is to promote and publish a creative compilation of the upperclassmen’s developer and project information, as well as the posters and relevant visual materials of their respective projects. While driven by their sense of innovation, and the core values of Far Eastern University, the independent research groups, in collaboration with their respective advisers, are given this opportunity to leave their own legacy and showcase their talent as well as excellence in FEU Alabang’s inaugural academic journal for A.Y. 2021-2022. In line with the academic requirements of PBL 4, Mosaic: Design and Innovation: A Creative Compilation of Thesis and Capstone Projects of the College of Computer Studies and Multimedia Arts was published in April 2022 together with the journal, Compendium : Design and Innovation Journal: A Technical Compilation of Thesis and Capstone Projects of the College of Computer Studies and Multimedia Arts. It is available at FEU Alabang’s Library and FEU Alabang’s research portal.

1 Message from the CCSMA Director Message from the CCSMA Director “ The first critical move taken by FEU Alabang to stimulate the process of research culture was project-based learning. Students were given the opportunity to collaborate on their thesis and capstone projects with their peers, mentor, and adviser to create compelling projects based on real-world problems and concerns. This has facilitated the development of teamwork and communication skills, both of which are critical in research. This promotes the exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices among researchers, hence enhancing the integrity and culture of research at FEU Alabang. The 16 capstone projects completed by Information Technology students, ten thesis projects completed by Computer Science students, and seven capstone projects completed by Multimedia Arts students all address societal concerns, values, demands, and expectations. The 33 publications’ diverse research designs and methodologies mirror the mosaic approach, in which researchers acquired data through a variety of methods and built skills through their experiences. This initial group of studies established a culture that contributes to the definition of their specializations, aids in finding research gaps, molds research paradigms, and fosters creativity. Building Research Culture in FEU Alabang

2 Mosaic: A Creative Compilation of FEU Alabang Computer Studies, Design and Innovation This will undoubtedly leave a positive impression on the history of PBL 4, as this is the inaugural batch of PBL projects. This will act as a model for future batches of computer science, information technology, and multimedia arts research. I am quite pleased with the 2018 batch for making it this far. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to all mentors who aided and guided our students while completing their projects. I would also like to commend Dr. Ray Carlo Abacan and Mr. Mervin Sanding, the PBL 4 advisers, for producing this research journal. Congratulations! Program Director - CCSMA Dr. Joferson L. Bombasi

3 Innovation Process Innnovation Process I n the degree programs of Computer Science, Information Technology, and Multimedia Arts, a capstone project implements creative thinking through research and practical application to develop bold unique solutions for real-world problems. The capstone project has become a cornerstone of university curriculum and the process of acquiring a degree. Through their projects, students can practice the skills needed for the corporate world in a safe environment where they are able to learn from the outcomes and consequences of their work. They have the opportunity to exhibit knowledge of their projects, as well as effective communication and cooperation with their team. The independent group research conducted during this process gives students the golden opportunity to practically apply the cumulative knowledge gained throughout their time at the university.

4 Mosaic: A Creative Compilation of FEU Alabang Computer Studies, Design and Innovation Under the guidance of their academic advisor, and mentor, these teams of students have gone through various production phases including solutions proposal, detailed plan documentation, development, and presentation of their completed project. During the final defense phase, students receive key insights and feedback from tenured panelists, allowing for them to reflect on these development areas and ideate solutions to accordingly revise and refine their projects. As aspiring young professionals, this process aids them in establishing a significant competitive advantage—strengthening their skills of critical thinking and problem solving while engaging with their peers and professors. Throughout this process, students are challenged with ideation, innovation, as well as management of their project. They gain invaluable experience in dealing with the demands and responsibilities of the professional industry. This not only allows them to comprehend the relevance of their area of specialization as they work on their projects, but also broadens their horizons and develops them into well-rounded, driven professionals ready for the working world.
