Capstone Project Courses themed around Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Blockchain technologies are strategically designed to provide professional training in advanced digital innovations to students from the School of Accounting and Finance (AF). These courses not only cultivate technical know-how but also foster dynamic engagement with industry partners through real-world challenge-based projects.
A key dimension of the program is its promotion of the citizen developer model, which facilitates knowledge transfer and drives societal impact across sectors. By introducing automation and decentralized technologies to non-technical stakeholders, the initiative contributes to the democratization of digital transformation.
RPA—Robotic Process Automation—is employed to enhance operational efficiency within participating organizations. AF students collaborate with companies to develop their first RPA robots, initiating a trajectory of continuous automation that often expands to dozens of RPA implementations. These projects have consistently demonstrated measurable improvements in accuracy and productivity, resulting in significant cost and time savings.
In parallel, students explore innovative applications of Blockchain technology, particularly through the tokenization of business and operational processes. Leveraging Ethereum-based standards—including crypto tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), fractional NFTs, and other decentralized assets—students have generated novel concepts that reimagine enterprise workflows and value exchange mechanisms.
Collectively, these Capstone Project Courses exemplify a forward-thinking educational model that integrates emerging technologies with experiential learning, industry collaboration, and societal advancement.
