Computer Science Students take Second Place at the Capstone Design Conference

Computer Science students Ngan Nguyen, John Michael Deebel, Clarence Brett Lashier, and Brandon S. Davis won the second place prize at the Penn State Harrisburg Capstone Design Conference.  Their project was entitled "LionHub", a cross-platform mobile app that assists students and new faculty in discovering various services available both on campus and online that are offered through the Penn State Harrisburg.

The client for the project, who generated requirements for the project, was Donna J. Howard, the Associate Director of International Student Support Services and Campus Life and Intercultural Affairs. The capstone course was taught by Dr. Sukmoon Chang.

You can download the Android app from Google Play.

The top three finishers were:
1) Jack Lee McFann
2) Shane Hall
3) Emily Mras

Congratulations to all of the competitors!
