Final Year Projects |
Through the LebNet–AUB MSFEA partnership, the Final Year Projects program connects engineering students with US-based companies and diaspora mentors to work on real-world, industry-driven projects. These collaborations help students build practical skills and global perspective.
Four student teams partnered with:
-
Asurion – a global tech care company
-
FADEL – a leader in IP and royalty management software company
Students worked on Final Year projects with close mentorship from company experts.
Explore the projects and student experiences below.
| Team 1: Sara Hammoud, Aya Eido, and Dana Daoud Company: Asurion Mentors: Peng Xie and Sundar Kuppuswamy Idea: Expert Helper (FYP) Project: The AUB team prepared and curated a data set of tech support sessions from Asurion into a category of replies. They then selected categories of these sets and automated initial replies to them using natural language processing techniques mixed with expert knowledge. |
| Team 2: Julia Zini and Issa Issa Company: Asurion Mentors: Peng Xie and Sundar Kuppuswamy Idea: Emerging Problems (Natural Language Processing NLP Course Project) Project: The AUB team helped Asurion’s tech support team figure out whether a novel tech problem is emerging on social media (Twitter). And for novel emerging problems, it also helps determine if the problem is related to tech support or generic news events. |
| Team 3: Mohamad Mansour, Fouad Khnaiser and Bassel Musharrafieh Company: Asurion Mentors: Harsh Tomar and Sundar Kuppuswamy Idea: Extracting Insights (NLP course project) Project: The AUB team focused on extracting phrases of trends from collection of text data (emails) allowing the Customer Experience team to quickly identify and mitigate issues. The project was hosted by a startup incubated by Asurion, which had different IP regulations. |
| Team 4: Hadi Ahmad, Hafez Jawahary and Samir Saidi Company: FADEL Mentors: Rony Eid and Ziad Bassil Idea: Image Match (FYP) Project: The AUB team was tasked with improving matching performance. Walid Daccache, FADEL’s CTO, explained that with the help of FADEL mentors, who met with students on a weekly basis, the team implemented a different algorithm that outperforms FADEL’s algorithm while being compatible with the rest of their system. |
