Abstract

PhD students work closely with their advisor on multiple projects/research throughout their program. Students and advisors keep track of progress by breaking up projects into tasks. They schedule meetings to discuss this progress and any issues. Currently, this management and collaboration process happens via a variety of tools such as email, Google Docs, and Trello.

The Research/Project management platform will provide a centralized system where professors and students can keep track of research projects. A professor shall be able to invite their students to the platform, add projects, schedule meetings, track progress of tasks added by the student, prioritize tasks etc. The student shall accept a professor’s invitation, add tasks for a particular project, schedule meetings with the professor etc.

Abstract

MaHippo is a web application that can be used by any adult but we are targeting students specifically. Students already have a tough time navigating college life and outside life as it is. MaHippo is created for students that want to make their life much simpler.MaHippo requires the user to create an account so that any information that they put on our application is saved. It allows for students to create events and add them to their calendar, there is a goal list used to keep track of a person's goals and have can input milestones that they have reached. We have a simplistic Dashboard view that shows upcoming tasks or assignments if Canvas calendar is synced with our application. MaHippo also allows for other users to share calendars with each other, which can help to see when your partner is available and when they will be busy. Our application also takes into consideration motivation of our users. We built in an optional "Daily Inspirational Quote" feature that gives users an inspirational quote at the top of their page to maybe give them that little push needed to continue being productive and accomplish their goals. MaHippo is privacy friendly, it does not ask for any information other than what is required to serve the user.

Abstract

With the dominance of Social Media, it has become harder and harder to stand out as a smaller channel. Our goal to is to provide an avenue in which these channels can advertise their quality content to an eager viewership that wants to support these smaller content creators.

This is unique because the suggestions are self sorting as any viewer can vote on the content to filter any low-quality content. This lets the videos speak for themselves and for what the community can decide on.

Abstract

Team Infinite Loop is trying to make an easy and accessible application for parents that will allow them to ensure their baby’s health and schedule. Everyone knows babies are a lot of work. They require constant around the clock care, but how do you really know what they need? Babies can not communicate, so when a baby cries, we are often left wondering why. When this happens most parents go through a checklist of things such as: When were they last fed? When was the last diaper change? Do they need a nap? And much more.

The solution to this is to have an application that will easily record your baby's activities. All the records will be transcribed into an easy-to-read report that will display overall health and metrics of the baby. This information could range from average bowel movements per week to the number of naps taken in a day. Once averages for your child have been determined they can be compared to a daily number to help easily determine what could be best for your child.

Abstract

People are often unaware of the impact Natural Disasters can have on a community, and are even less aware of the processes involved to fix what was destroyed. In addition, kids are often told to go into STEM fields, but are often not given any direction or information about different jobs or career paths within STEM. To inform people about these issues, our team is developing a simulation in Unreal Engine 4 that immerses kids in the aftermath of a natural disaster. They will have the ability to view different environments that the disaster has affected, and they will be able to spend virtual money to fix some things that have been damaged by the disaster. The user’s interests will be determined by what they observe and what they spend their virtual money on, and those interests will be translated into different careers and STEM disciplines the user might be interested in studying. The simulation will target Desktop and Virtual Reality platforms.

Abstract

The rise of online dating apps and online resellers have led to many encounters that are unsafe. The idea of being able to find a safe public location that is halfway between two users without disclosing their address to the other person is what this app strives for. We want to create a way for people to meet that is safe, and fast.

Tools exist for users to find locations in the middle. The problem we’re solving, is not letting the other party know your starting location. Each party only knows the meeting location. The meeting location is chosen from a list of safe places like fire departments, police stations, banks, etc.

Abstract

Mind Reader is a tool that extends Visual Studio Code’s accessibility to assist visually impaired people in Python Programming with LEGO® Mindstorms. The goal is to provide an accessible experience to those with visual impairment whilst not disrupting the editing environment and workflow for those without visual impairment. Python is distinct from most other programming languages, because the number of spaces changes how the code functions. By solving commonly overlooked accessibility problems, Mind Reader is pushing boundaries to make coding in Python easy for people with visual impairments.

Abstract

The problem that was brought to our attention is that the local soccer retail store, Soccer Post, did not have an efficient way to track inventory.  The employees would have to manually track all orders and shipments by hand on paper. The project requested of us was to create a simple application that would allow employees to bypass the use of paper, and store inventory into a database. This would allow employees to be less reliant on paper, lessen the potential damage of lost documents, and ease tracking of inventory.  With our mobile application, that allows the employees to easily input and store items, significantly boosts the company’s productivity.  This solution is innovative because it allows orders to be processed much quicker and allows a live count of every item they have.

The application was designed with the intent of keeping a relatively simple user interface with little restrictions. With our mobile application, that allows the employees to easily input and store items, significantly boosts the company’s productivity.  This solution is innovative because it allows orders to be processed much quicker and allows a live count of every item they have.

Abstract

Glia Health’s application is designed to provide individuals and their healthcare providers with quick and accessible neurological health assessments. By using face tracking technologies and trained artificial intelligence, Glia Health’s initial aim is to identify well known deficits in the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves. More specifically, by using a device’s built in camera, the application aims to recognize extraocular palsies that occur following damage to the aforementioned nerves or brainstem. The application is also designed to track patients’ symptoms in a diary, connect users to physicians, and offer repeatable mood assessments. Many of these services are difficult to access or prohibitively expensive through traditional means. As a result, Glia Health aims to solve these problems with one application.

Abstract

Teachers use many tools for teaching purposes in the classroom that it can get a little confusing when everything is separate. So, the problem we are solving is for teachers to have one location or website that has all their necessary tools or websites needed for class time all in one spot. Having all their necessary needs for the class in one spot can significantly improve on how fast teachers can access something. Newer teachers might like the convenience of having everything in one spot, so it’s easier for them navigate everything needed for class time. The idea behind our project is to allow teachers to have their lesson plans and curriculum in one spot for quick reference. With the website they can simply log in and find all of their documents, instead of searching for it through their desktop folder.

Abstract

7-Eleven was interested in a way to implement a user-friendly contactless payment. They found that people were feeling less and less comfortable with using the card machines, especially in covid times. However, a lot of contactless payment methods require the user to be very involved. 7-Eleven is looking to streamline the process and make easy for any user to participate. This program will make it simpler, safer and quicker for 7-Eleven customers to get gas.

Abstract

Being a mother has a steep learning curve, and once mothers are discharged from a hospital, many have questions about their baby’s health and wellbeing. It’s well known that babies are vulnerable and fragile, and if one aspect of their health is off-balance, it can be potentially life-threatening. Our goal with Baby-Tracker is to provide an interface where parents can enter essential data about babies and then receive a useful view based on entered data that ensures their baby is on track and healthy.

Abstract

Loneliness and connection are modern epidemics that are too frequently treated as something that people are naturally able to navigate or are otherwise doomed to spend their lives struggling to socialize.

This is an entirely unnecessary problem that place2be seeks to solve. Whether a parent with unexpected time on your hands on a Saturday night or a fresh-faced college student looking for company in the cafeteria, place2be seeks to become the go-to app for organizing social events in a low-stress, user-responsive manner. By bundling and saving open invitations for events for users to review at their convenience, place2be will allow for everyone to be able to manage their social lives and never find themselves at home alone when they would rather be out.

While not necessarily innovative or novel in itself, the current solutions for this situation are largely also ran ideas that do not make this activity the primary focus of the solution. place2be’s innovation comes in isolating this specific organizing activity and giving it the frictionless flow that it so greatly demands.

Abstract

As a team of TagMatch Services, we were given the Research and Development part or the backend part of app development. As working with the sponsor, last semester we were divided into three sections to work on API, TagList and TagMap. Working with API, we got data from the API of different sources like Spotify, Eventbrite etc. and taglist team had to help in converting list of tags into a json file. TagMap was a different web-based application built from an open-source Helium Explorer. This semester we have a common goal and we have been researching on NFT’s of blockchain technology. We started by minting tokens from Solana using the Metaplex CandyMachine and implemented the same process to build a web app for minting NFTs on Solana. Completing these, we are looking forward to implement our knowledge on NFT’s to contribute on TagMatch application.

Abstract

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are putting a high-price on health factors when interacting with organizations. To reduce the risk of infection, people are anxious to minimize physical contact and maximize contactless interactions.

7-Eleven operates one of the largest fuel distribution networks in the world. However, US adoption of forecourt touchless payment technologies has not kept pace with market demand.

This form of contactless payment is not common in America, however Circle-K Sweden enabled this technology in 2021. This project not only brings a new form of contactless payment to gas stations across the U.S., but it also aids in the drive for a cleaner, more sanitary public environment.

Abstract

The previous solution for generating Syllabi based on course information is using a Microsoft Access database and antiquated web portal.

Our project as the Syllabi savers was to refactor and implement a modern solution to the Syllabi creation portal. Instead of using Microsoft Access, we’re using a stack utilizing React.js and SQLite to manage the web portal and the back-end database.

Microsoft Access was initially released in 1992, while SQLite had its initial release in 2000. SQLite has multiple advantages over Access –most notably the ability to be used on any operating system and supports a myriad of languages more than Access can. This added flexibility allows for increased scalability in the future if needed.
Our aim is to provide a replacement for the existing solution that is more flexible, easy to navigate, easy to use, and has all the same functionality as the original implementation.

Abstract

This is a system intended to simplify 3rd party contracting for businesses or individuals who need a niche job done. Currently, most businesses must research and contact a contracting company when needing something done ie. plumbing, electrical or IT services. This is an inefficient system as the business has to call the contractor, schedule a time and specify the work done all over the phone. Our goal is to implement a web based solution that allows a business to submit a virtual ticket to the contractor of their choice.

A section will be provided for businesses to browse contracting companies that specify in the field needed, but if a contractor is found that the business likes really well, the contractor can be “hired”. This will allow for a much simpler process of requesting work as someone can open the application and select the job they need done by using User Interface to create and manage events.

Abstract

Before the rise of technology and the widespread accessibility of the internet, teachers would use physical materials to teach their students. The subjects that were and are currently taught include Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Writing, Music, Art, and Engineering. Within the past decade, school districts have started to invest in technology, including SmartBoards for the classrooms and tablets/laptops for the students. With this, software engineers have needed to create programs to help teachers adapt to the access to new technology and internet in their classrooms. Since 2020, COVID-19 has changed the way students are being educated world-wide. Teachers have had to adjust to using computers and various software platforms to be effective in their teaching methods.

This project has built on this trend-to use technology to promote interaction and assistance in the classroom. We created a web application containing various tools for teachers and students to use to interact with each other, regardless of what subject and grade they may teach.
