152. Simply Scheduled

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Simply Scheduled is a solution for Bridger Brewing’s Management and similar small businesses who want to digitize their schedule. Software Advice states that 61% of small businesses experience faster, easier, and more accurate scheduling by using scheduling software.

153. E-Cycled

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: E-waste is a global problem that is growing at an amazing pace, going from 41.4 million metric tonnes (Mt) to 44.7 Mt in just 3 short years. With the amount of devices that are being released each month it’s easy to forget the impact it can have. Our undertaking is to create a more accessible method of disposing and tracking unwanted or outdated devices. We plan to accomplish this with a frictionless web application that will allow anyone to recycle their goods using a painless and efficient pickup system which is both secure and speedy. We will create and test the web app to show both the pickup and delivery of an item as well as safe methods to secure or destroy any unwanted data.

154. Lockdown

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: According to research done by Statista out of the 2,000+ respondents Social Media, Binge-watching, and Gaming were three out of the top five leading distractions while on a computer. Lockdown is the ultimate tool to help keep users productive while on their computer whether at home or work. Using solely a C# application and PowerShell scripts we can help minimize the daily distractions of the internet. While there are many ways users can block websites, those are only a portion of the problem with few solutions for the rest. This paper discusses the work, validation, and development of the desktop application as well as our hopes for future features and results.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: The Howdy Neighbor web application is an online resource designed for anyone planning a move. While moving, which the average American will do over 11 times during their lifetime (Bureau, 2020), there are many factors that may be overlooked, which could positively or negatively affect the outcome of the move.

Once these checklists are complete, the user will be able to move to their new home with the confidence and peace of mind they deserve.

165. Astrum

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: The Astrum Network Scanner provides small business IT administrators the ability to keep their endpoints secure while saving time and money. According to CenturyLink in 2019, the average cost for network monitoring tools for a business of 100 devices could end up being a pricey $2,656 a year (CenturyLink)†. We have worked towards making an inexpensive and unique solution available. The scanner utilizes Linux-based scripting to scan endpoints and report on any common vulnerabilities as recommended by NIST. This allows IT administrators to automate a large portion of their security auditing. All this scanning capability is achieved through a one-time deployment of the Astrum solution. Astrum is inexpensive, open-source, and perfect for small businesses on a budget.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Omnigistics is a scalable inventory management system that offers an intuitive approach to optimizing logistics operations for small to medium-sized companies.

Existing solutions offer inventory management modules as a smaller feature within an overcomplicated product. Omnigistics enables organizations to mass control item prices, combine goods and services, and track transactions. The application also improves customers' overall logistical process resulting in higher marginal profits and lower execution time.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Student Life Plus seeks to give students more of a voice and improve the visibility of issues that everyday students encounter. We believe that by partnering our app with UC Student Government, we hope to provide meaningful improvements across the campus. The University of Cincinnati’s current system does not provide nearly enough visibility into how the student body as a whole feels about a topic. Our application will provide a forum-like outlet for students to voice concerns and suggest improvements by making posts, reviewing current issues, and engaging in discussions related to current topics or issues via reading posts from peers and Student Government.

170. Make IT Simple

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: In the beginning of 2020, America was forced to go into lockdown due to COVID-19. With the lockdown, everyone was forced to cook and bake for themselves and their families. Many people do not know how to cook or bake, so they resorted to online solutions such as YouTube videos. However, just following tutorials does not give the person the fundamentals on how to cook or bake. Our proposed solution, Make IT Simple, is a web application that gives people the concrete foundation of cooking and baking while having a safe and secure experience. Any visitor can view the web application content. Users can choose to have a more interactive and customized experience by creating an account with minimal personal identifiable information. Make IT Simple’s goal is to inspire more people to get into the kitchen and have more confidence in their ability to cook and bake.

172. Home Office System

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Tens of millions of people use smart devices in their homes providing convenience by using virtual assistants like the Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, and Apple’s Siri. These assistants are always on and listening for commands to provide the power to turn on your TV, open a recipe, play your favorite music, or start a video chat. However, that functionality to always be on has a security downside in that these devices are listening to everything that happens in the home. Bloomberg reports that Amazon has this private voice data and with the lack of security in most home networks, hackers could too. The Home Office System provides an easy way to turn off all of your smart device microphones at the hardware level in an easy to configure and foolproof way. By giving people the power to easily control their virtual assistants, we can have truly secure, smart homes.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Many college graduates struggle to find a job after graduation. One reason for this is that it is a daunting task to find like-minded people interested in working on a variety of projects.

"Mission Source" is a platform that is aimed at solving this problem.

The platform is open to all colleges and majors that attend the same university.

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: TutorialHeaven is an online learning solution to provide users a more personalized learning experience over the industry’s leading online asynchronous platforms. With the combination of an asynchronous approach, a feedback loop that points the learner to their weakest subject material, the ability for course creators to make their course along with assessments in one platform, TutorialHeaven can greatly improve the experience both for the learner and instructor. The one-size-fits-all approach of asynchronous learning content neglects student’s performance and ignores the effectiveness of conventional teaching practices, which leads to difficulties in knowledge retention and skill acquisition. These issues will be addressed by providing learners automatic feedback on their assessments, along with real communication channels for instructors and their course participants to engage with each other.

176. Law Enforcement Information Portal (LEIP)

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Research shows that just over half of the country’s law enforcement academies received comprehensive training on cybercrime cases and investigations. Law Enforcement Information Portal is a website that bridges that gap. The home page is a dashboard showing up-to-date statistics of crime in the local area, as well as an interactive map of the local area. Working with a database on the backend, one of the features is a search for information on popular Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that, upon search submission, will detail contact information, a link to the ISP’s law enforcement guide, and information on data retention, where to send subpoenas, and more. Other features include an extensive phone directory of local law enforcement and services contacts, a directory of links to each of the 50 states’ sex offender registry pages, and a guide full of helpful tips on preserving digital evidence. Law Enforcement Information Portal intends to aid law enforcement in the office or out in the field during investigations.

178. Hotel Helper

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Hotel Helper is an automated Housekeeping management system created using Node.JS and Angular to alleviate hotel staff of tedious and manual administrative tasks. The importance of minimizing labor costs is a generally a priority of hotel owners, but the impact COVID-19 has made on the hospitality industry makes it even more crucial for hotel owners to save money where they can. Housekeeping management software on the market is expensive and contains many unnecessary features for most hotels. As a result, many hotels prefer to use a manual pen and paper process, but this process is very inefficient. Hotel Helper serves as a cost friendly, simple web application alternative that allows managers and housekeeping staff to communicate in a two-way manner with updates on room cleaning progress, late checkouts, along with any other room related requests. Hotel Helper increases hotel staff efficiency, minimizes owner expenses, and streamlines the housekeeping process through the modernization of an outdated pen and paper procedure to an easy to use web application.

Student Work thumbnail: Risk Assessment v4.0

180. Risk Assessment v4.0

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Prisoner recidivism is a growing problem in the United States. Offenders often find themselves rearrested and returned to the system after a few short years. The IT Solution Center’s Risk Assessment System was developed as a web based solution to risk assessment and offers a variety of tools to better manage offenders, conduct risk assessments, and facilitate the reduction of offender recidivism. Since that original development process, more states have adopted use of the Risk Assessment System, and that original mold doesn’t always fit the needs of the new users. The Risk Assessment System v4.0 includes a complete front-end framework migration and improves upon the original v3.0 approach by adding some highly requested features. Notable highlights are enhancements to data reporting via the Research Portal, merging/unmerging of offender records, role/permission management, and a chronological offender timeline. This project also focused on creating a more robust database infrastructure through the use of logical replication to an external-server replica. Lastly, a .csv file upload application was developed to take the place of API integrations in the case that clients are unable to build a data upload solution of their own. These features were completed and iterated with a heavy focus on user satisfaction and configurability. Bulletproof functionality, ease of use, and user interface simplicity were all driving factors in achieving positive user acceptance results.

181. Political Tap

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Political Tap is a web and mobile tool designed to help American voters make informed decisions about representatives and candidates during elections. According to a 2018 poll, approximately 29% of surveyed citizens claimed that they were not well-informed about their candidates, with only 14% being registered voters. In another 2018 survey, roughly 45% of participants reported having very little to no trust in television news. American voters do not feel as if they have the proper outlets of information on candidates' values while also not being aware of who is on the ballot. Our solution to these problems relies on developing an application which provides a list of candidates to users based on location and highlights their positions on major political issues through aggregated social media posts. This helps increase voter awareness and allows for easier comparison among candidates, making citizens feel more comfortable, confident, and knowledgeable at the polls.

182. Lightning Carryout

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: Lightning Carryout is a solution for small restaurants looking to expand their online customer base. While apps like Uber Eats send partners an iPad to run a separate point of sale system, the Mobile Ordering App utilizes the Square API integrating directly with the restaurant’s existing point of sale system. Furthermore, food delivery apps like Door Dash charge restaurants exorbitant fees. Large chain restaurants like McDonald’s and Chipotle have proprietary apps that allow for online ordering, but many small restaurants do not have the customer base or funds to have their own app developed. Lightning Carryout provides users the ability to select small businesses from a list or map, view menu items, and order from within the app. Our team’s app allows users to not only support small businesses but ensure that more of their bill goes to the owners and employees, rather than large corporations.

183. LinkTailor

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: LinkTailor is a virtual “wardrobe” where instead of arranging clothes, one can arrange links (to applications, files, and websites), treating them as garments that can be styled, tagged, and organized into outfits for any occasion. Current link-management solutions lack grid layouts, mass-opening of links, and user customization. So LinkTailor was developed to give users flexibility for their own workflow. LinkTailor can be installed on both Windows and Mac, being coded within Electron and thus with web languages and utilizes the Vue.js framework. LinkTailor even sports integration with the Windows context menu. The final product allows users to save links in grid-based layouts, re-arrange with drag-and-drop, and assign custom tags. Development is continuing as the LinkTailor team continues to add additional conveniences.

186. smirror

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: The global smart mirror market is projected to reach $4,118.9 million by 2025, registering a CAGR(Compound Annual growth rate) of 11.5% from 2018 to 2025. We created a “smart” mirror that allows a person to efficiently do everything they need to do to prepare for the day while also view the news, weather, and other information. What makes a smart mirror “smart” is the ability to display any information you want on it. While providing a calendar, weather, date and time, or mapping software we are able to offer the user a convenient solution. The combination of hand motion, facial recognition, simple UI, calendar, and weather modules substantially increase the freedom and organization users have when interacting with this technology. This device allows users to experience a hands-free environment. Being able to take in all of this useful information without interrupting your normal routine is very liberating.
