Applied Projects is a program where every technology student engages in an intensive team project full time during the final academic semester. A wide range of enterprises provide the real-world problems that form the basis of student projects. This article describes the program and how Fleming College uses this program for applied research. To date, student teams set up systems and provided technical support for internal college and external researchers. This includes technology to assist the elderly, development of indoor locating systems, and laboratory and information systems for DNA research, software development for man-machine interface research, and others.
