LOOK | SJCB BSIT Capstone Project Garners Global Recognition in WURI 2026
Saint Joseph College of Baggao proved its commitment to innovation after being honored and recognized in the 2026 World University Ranking in Innovation (WURI). The institution earned the rank of 97 in Category A4 – Entrepreneurial Culture and Eco-System through the capstone project created by students from the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program titled “Eggvance: Egg Farm Incubator Monitoring and Management System.”
Eggvance is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring and management system developed to support poultry incubation operations under the Municipal Agriculture Office’s (MAO) livestock services. The project combines modern technology with agricultural practices to help improve poultry production and incubation management.
At the center of the project is a smart incubator that can accommodate up to 162 eggs. The egg incubator furnished with automated warming and egg-tilting mechanisms. It also incorporated with sensors to thoroughly and continuously monitor humidity, water levels, and temperature. Through a companion mobile application, authorized users can easily assess the incubation status, configure operational settings, receive real time alerts, and most importantly access incubation data and analytics for efficient poultry production management.
Eggvance includes several integrated modules such as user management and authentication, IoT monitoring and control, egg setting and inspection management, egg condition monitoring, and chick management after hatching. The system logs environmental data, inspection results, and hatch performance. This greatly helps agriculture officers especially farmers to boost hatch rates and reduce production problems.
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) Class of 2026 alumni Mr. Aristotle B. Damo, Mr. Jacob D. Manuel, and Mr. Jefte D. Manuel, are the propenents of the project, with guidance and leadership from Ma’am Jeizel P. Marcelo, Co-Author and Co-Developer and Sir Vince Mark E. Arnedo, Capstone Project Instructor and Innovation Champion. The success of the project was also made possible through the support of the SJCB administration and academic leaders Rev. Fr. Gerard Ariston P. Perez, College President; Ma’am Marissa Q. Palomares, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Sir Alberto P. Calixto Jr., Vice President for Administration; Ma’am Lomelyne B. Callueng, Quality Assurance Director; and Ma’am Marie Frances S. Villegas, Director of Research, Internationalized and Linkages.
The BSIT Program, the Panday Dunong Center, and the SJCB WURI Committee plays a vital roles in promoting research, innovation, and global academic excellence.
The achievement emphasized the commitment of Saint Joseph College of Baggao in creating innovative projects that can contribute to community development and technological advancement.
