Abstract
Caring for a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents numerous challenges for parents, often leading to psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and other health issues. Understanding and addressing the various behaviors exhibited by children with ASD can be particularly difficult. Despite advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of ASD, many families still struggle to access specialized care and support. To address these challenges, we developed ASDvisor, an innovative application designed to provide comprehensive support for parents of children with ASD. ASDvisor integrates valuable information, efficient documentation, decision support, educational resources, data tracking tools, and enhanced communication to improve the management of ASD care through a user-friendly web and mobile platform. The system's quality was evaluated using the FURPS model, which evaluates functionality, usability, reliability, performance, and supportability of the system. ASDvisor received excellent ratings, scoring 4.33 for the web application and 4.37 for the mobile application. Key findings highlighted the application's robust performance in tracking and managing ASD-related activities, offering valuable decision support through its Care Decision module, and fostering community engagement among users. ASDvisor effectively addresses the identified challenges, providing a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective tool for enhancing the quality of life for children with ASD and their families. This research demonstrates the potential for technology to significantly improve ASD care management.

Abstract
FEU Tech’s College of Computer Studies hosts an annual event known as Technology Innovation on Capstone Project (TICaP), which exhibits the different capstone projects of each specialization. This event allows the students to view the different projects of the FEU Tech PBL students and recognizes the group with the best capstone project and other special awards. However, problems were encountered while managing the event resulting in disorganized planning and management. The proponents developed an event management system named TICaP HUB to solve the different problems experienced by the organizers in planning and managing the event. The team conducted a system evaluation and survey of the PBL and non-PBL students, including FEU Tech faculties. Using the Likert scale for the system evaluation, the Web application has an overall weighted mean of 4.72 and 4.71 for the mobile application. This outcome can be interpreted that the users strongly agreed with the FURPS evaluation of the system. With the results acquired from the respondents, the proponents conclude that using the TICaP HUB can significantly help the users efficiently manage the TICaP event and lessen the time consumed in planning and organizing for the said event.

Abstract
This capstone project aims to create a visual book with an augmented reality feature and a CMS-based website. The application uses augmented reality technology to track target images on the book and display 3D models and animations of the 30 endangered bird species in the Philippines. To elaborate, when a target image is found, the application will display the 3D model of the bird and two different animations for the user to explore. The application was developed using Vuforia and Unity; the 3D models of the endangered bird species will be modeled and animated using Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, and ZBrush, and the design and layout of the book were created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. The developed system is one of the first AR books about endangered bird species in the country, attempting to disseminate information and raise awareness about the status of endangered birds using augmented reality. To prove that the application is practical and usable, the researchers surveyed 70 respondents consisting of ten from the client’s organization, 40 from the general public, ten bird lovers, and ten I.T. professionals. Based on the survey results, the system proves to be practical and usable in disseminating information and raising awareness about the status of endangered birds. Future researchers can improve the system by adopting some features and enhancing the application so that users can still utilize the mobile application even without the visual book. The researchers also encourage future researchers to implement the application in other devices with different operating systems, such as iOS and Windows, to cater to a broader range of users.

Abstract
Agriculture has a big contribution in the life of most of the residents of Isabela having rice as the main crop. Having a large farm cannot be easily harvested manually so using a harvester machine helps the farmers get the rice and sell immediately without hustle. Through this, researchers aim to provide an easier and more comfortable way of purchasing harvester parts to the consumers without going on the physical store. This online ordering with recommender system displays the products and suggest relevant items to consumers. The integration of augmented reality in the physical brochure shows the 3D animations and descriptions of the 10 major parts of the machine which gives the consumers the knowledge about a certain part before it will be used in farm operations. In summary, the developed system is aimed at giving agricultural marketing information to all the farm owners in Isabela as well as to help increase the sales of the company.

Abstract
Digitalization of different industries led to new systems that provide accurate information that results in efficient and effective services. This information is vital for decision-making and on the larger scale, policymaking especially in the health sector. In the Philippines, some healthcare establishments have not adjusted to this digital change. This study aims to develop an enhanced model of healthcare management system that can perform digitization of data, predictive health analytics and sales trend analysis. The researchers identified these three features as the focus of the system because it improves data quality, accessibility, reliability, and autonomy. The system is based on prescriptive analytics - a type of analytics that uses machine learning to process historical and predictive data. The artificially intelligent management system caters to the needs of the healthcare sector in this digital age to improve its services to the people.
