    Description/Abstract:
    Simple technology questions get asked every day. There are thousands of tools to help technically inclined people get further in their careers and in their knowledge. Tools for learning the basics of computer literacy are either reading documentation or watching videos, nothing that allows for user interaction. Tenjin Tech aims to solve this by giving users interactive challenges for basic computer skills. The team created a website with links to other learning platforms and knowledge. The website also allows for users to access the web application and select specific lesson plans and launch into lessons that ask them to solve a simple challenge. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it even more important to know the basics in computer skills. Tenjin Tech allows those who may have felt that technology was getting past them to learn in a fun and safe environment.

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    The Hop social application was created to solve problems that the group found when socializing on the weekends. People were not able to meet up with friends, or spent most of their evening trying to, because they didn’t know which location their friends were at. When that person found their friends, they had to wait in a line outside the bar or restaurant to get in. After this individual got through the line and found their friends, they may have to wait again for a drink. At this point, their friends may be ready to move on to the next location. Hop has been created to solve these problems and to make going out on the weekends a more fun and simpler process. Our team researched these problems and spoke with people in our target market to better understand their problems and what type of solution they would like to see. We also researched competitors that had similar solutions or those that users had heard about to understand how we could differentiate our product. Our group members downloaded other applications and used them so we would have firsthand experience in what worked well and what could be improved on to solve our users’ problems. We collected our insights as well as data received from conversations with target users. Our decision was to create an iOS application using the swift programming language, and the group had to conduct research to successfully utilize this language. As a group, we had no knowledge of this language, so we spent time researching the fundamentals and learning how the language works. We focused on how it interacts with other platforms and languages, and we learned how to use Xcode as our development environment. This research took a significant amount of time as swift is a fairly new language. Apple does have resources that we used and referred to as we worked on creating the application. After completing research and work on understanding the coding language, development platform, and other platforms used in the project, the group moved to look at the features that would be included. The research focused on wait times at bars and restaurants and how that could be minimized. The group also looked into different APIs and resources for implementing the features. We worked in Google Developer to understand their location data API and how that could be implemented into our application. We also completed research on how we could get another user’s location data, a friend the user has added, to display on their map. This was a more difficult task that led to the decision of supplying friend location data through their status. The majority of our research was completed based on each group members’ experiences and through talking with other people at bars and restaurants. We created Hop as a solution to these problems and as a way to make going to bars and restaurants easier. Our solution makes the experience easier and more efficient for users while allowing the bars to benefit through promotion and partnerships.

    Description/Abstract:
    This project is meant to help single fathers improve their day-to-day lives by improving accessibility to needed resources who will not discriminate against them, increase the opportunity for them to meet other single fathers in their area, and let other single fathers know about their experiences with resources that other single fathers may be looking for. It will accomplish these goals by allowing them to search for locations and services near them or somewhere they may be traveling. Once they identify a resource, which they may choose to use, they will gain access to reviews and ratings made by other single fathers who used the same resources. This will let them know if they should expect to be treated with some bias or be treated as any other parent would be treated. They would also be able to create events which they could advertise to other single fathers in their area, which would allow them to meet other single fathers and socialize their children. This web application is put together using Java Spring Boot, HTML, CSS, and PHP. The Google Map API is configured to only pull reviews for locations from the applications database and not public reviews. The messaging feature allows users to establish connections with other users and create chats for events that they create. This web application will help to resolve four areas of concerns identified in the research for this web application. Those concern themes are health, perceived bias, lack of peer connection and stress relief. This web application will help an increasing demographic which has gotten little assistance, even though it suffers from worse mental and physical health than any other parenting group. This improvement will, in turn, benefit the children of single fathers.

    Description/Abstract:
    As technology permeates day-to-day life, people have more and more ways to communicate. These forms of communication create a challenge for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP). Research has shown people are posting on social media for medical help, but PSAPs do not have a way to receive these messages. This research aims to determine if using keywords and filter words can be used to find the actionable calls for help in the midst of the millions of posts made. Actionable is defined as containing enough information to determine the nature of a medical emergency and if is currently occurring or is recent enough that the poster needs help. To determine if this was true, the most prevalent types of voice medical calls to the Cincinnati Fire Department were determined for 2021. A set of keywords and filter words was created for each call type. Then tweets were captured over a period of seventeen hours and filtered using the word lists. The filtering showed there was a valid way to find actionable tweets, and that people were posting such things. By varying the word lists, the signal-to-noise ratio can be adjusted depending on the desires of the agency. as filtering became more strict, the number of missed actionable tweets increased, while the number of incorrectly labeled as actionable decreased.

    Description/Abstract:
    Starting a food producing garden should be easier to do successfully. Getting data related to your specific gardening conditions can be time consuming and tedious for the average person who does not have any gardening experience. In 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, there has been an increase in food insecurities for people because of grocery supply chain fulfillment concerns. A simple yet shocking Google trends search for terms like “how to start a garden”, “food shortage”, and “food insecurity” since 2004 in the US have more than doubled in March of 2020 alone, during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. A search for “garden apps” has also shown more than double the interest in the same time frame on average. People want and need to grow their food to reduce their food anxieties. Having an alternative food source can also reduce national food-related supply chain disruptions caused by climate change, natural disasters, or even global pandemics. STEMMED Gardens was created to make gardening easier by crowdsourcing scientific data and real-life gardening success and failures. We created an iOS and Android application with an Azure based backend for users to be able to plan, maintain, troubleshoot, and share those gardening experiences. New and experienced users can easily retrieve and identify plant information and gardening techniques that can be used in each stage of their personal food garden journey.

    Description/Abstract:
    Phishy is a service intended for security administrators in order to allow them to launch several simultaneous, simulated phishing campaigns to gauge and improve the phishing awareness of employees within their organization. With our service, we want to take security awareness training to the next level. We designed Phishy to help combat the major phishing problem companies face today and to help better educate employees on the dangers of phishing. Currently, there is not an open-source platform that acts as a “one stop shop” for managing phishing campaigns and users’ phishing awareness training. Phishy fills this need by helping its users launch realistic phishing campaigns, utilizing WGET to clone websites in order to create realistic phishing situations. Along with giving users the ability to create practical phishing training for their organization, live visual and data analytics will be provided with tools such as Elasticsearch and Kibana. Since we know how busy security professionals are, it would be unlikely that each user who falls for a phishing simulation would be able to receive security training catered to what phishing tactic they fell for. Phishy has the ability to track which users are falling for which phishing scams and enroll them into specific phishing awareness training based on their interactions with the phishing simulation. Our hope is that Phishy will provide security professionals with a comprehensive tool that will allow them to better train and prepare their organization against the dangers of phishing

    Description/Abstract:
    As of 2019, it was estimated that over 21 million people in the United States go without reliable Internet connectivity (Winslow, 2019). The Internet is integral to everyday life now more than ever; many relying heavily on it for conducting work, obtaining an education, and maintaining communications. Because of these benefits and reliance, it is essential for anyone to have access to the Internet when it is needed, especially in cases of emergency. However, many people do not have the financial resources or technical know-how to stay connected. Our PANIK Guide hopes to help solve this issue by providing a user-friendly approach to setting up an inexpensive mesh network that can be used to help provide this access in areas and times where Internet connection is needed most. PANIK Kits are an affordable, easy to set up, quickly deployable approach to help connect those who are in most need of these resources.
