Learner goals and capabilities

Centennial College’s AI Capstone Project learners collaborate to research, design, and develop AI-driven applications that solve real-world problems. They bring expertise in AI techniques and data analysis to deliver innovative and scalable applications integrated with AI capabilities. Throughout this experience, students will develop their skills in ethical AI practices, advanced programming, and effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Students will primarily focus on building end-to-end AI solutions and capabilities and proof of concepts.

Students may have limited UX/UI, front-end/back-end development, cloud deployment, etc. capabilities.


Employers engaging in this collaboration are expected to provide regular communication and guidance, share relevant project information, attend a virtual final presentation, and offer constructive feedback on the project progress and final demonstration using the Riipen platform.


Employers are expected to provide data with full metadata, and clean data for the projects as much as possible.

Project Examples

Ideal projects for this experience require integrating AI capabilities within applications to solve complex, data-driven problems. There is also a special interest in projects that focus on Generative AI. These projects offer learners the chance to explore AI models, conduct data analysis, and develop impactful and industry-relevant solutions.

  • Predictive Maintenance System: Develop an AI capability that analyzes historical data to predict machinery breakdowns and optimize maintenance schedules.
  • Customer Sentiment Analysis Tool: Build an AI tool to analyze customer feedback and online reviews, providing insights into customer sentiment for business improvement.
  • Automated Inventory Management: Create an AI-driven inventory system that predicts demand, tracks stock levels, and suggests optimal restocking strategies.
  • Healthcare Diagnostic Assistance: Design an AI application that supports diagnostic processes by analyzing patient data and providing predictive health insights.
  • Smart Recommendation Engine: Build a recommendation system that uses AI to analyze user preferences and behavior, delivering personalized product or content suggestions.
