    Description/Abstract:
    According to a 2015 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center and published in a September 2016 Internet and Technology report, 52% of adults are relatively hesitant to use digital tools because of lower levels of digital skills and trust in the online environment.

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Gaming has become less social than ever, with 67% of gamers strictly playing solo, while the rest are constantly connecting to games full of random players (Forbes). We want to create a way for gamers to reconnect with each other by finding out they have a similar taste in games as their friends. With the influx of new game releases, it can be difficult to keep track who wants to play what. Co-op Queue will be an application that has all new games imported into it, allowing users to tag which games they like. This marks whether or not they’re interested in playing that game. Then, once the user indicates that they are interested in a game, it will automatically inform them of their friends who are also interested in the game and give the user an opportunity to message them. Helping more people to fill their co-op queue.

    Description/Abstract:
    According to The Hechinger Report “On the eastern edge of Silicon Valley, school districts have gone into debt by, authorizing a $16.2 million sale of general-obligation bonds intended almost exclusively for laptop purchases.” (Marcus, 2019) CyberPods is a system designed to let high school classes delve into the world of Cyber Security, leveraging the cheap used hardware market. Designed using the existing Proxmox Virtualization platform, CyberPods provides a way of easy installation and operation of Virtual Machines, so the focus can be on learning about Cyber Security, rather than battling configuration files. By utilizing the power of the cloud, CyberPods automatically configures and installs itself on hardware. A web-based user interface provides easy management and deployment of pre-configured Virtual Machines that are ready for a classroom environment.

  • NetLock

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Five out of every six home router devices are inadequately updated, leaving sensitive data and connected devices unprotected from known vulnerabilities. The American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research released this information after the FBI sent out a warning in the 2018, stating hackers from Russia had successfully compromised hundreds of thousands of routers and were collecting user information. Users treat routers as plug and play devices where, once installed, they are left sitting with no further configurations made. However, blame does not fall solely on the user. ISPs and manufacturers fail to educate their customers of the proper steps to take after installation. NetLock was created with the user in mind, to act as a guide and walkthrough after router installation. Once connected to the router and opened via desktop application, NetLock will assist the user with proper setting configuration while providing network security best practices throughout the setup

    Description/Abstract:
    The Wireless Charging SmartBag is the ultimate solution for users on the go, who fail to find time to recharge devices. The combination of proprietary smart device connection cables, adapters, and battery banks into this SmartBag can substantially increase the freedom and organization of users of Qi enabled devices. Current market research shows no viable all-in-one solution that provides this ease-of-use. According to Cisco VNI, the number of networked devices per person is expected to jump to fourteen by 2022. This paper discusses the work, validation, and development of the resulting fully inclusive system utilizing a mobile application to allow users to view battery percentage data for each registered device including the backpack itself, as well as the ability to prioritize device charging based on need and available charging capacity. Additional features include a SmartBag charging dock, GPS tracking, and Global Wifi HotSpot.

    Have you ever actually completed a New Year’s Resolution? Neither have we! According to Forbes, 80% of Americans set a New Year’s Resolution, but only 8% will actually complete their goal[1].

While there are many solutions available to keep track of your study and workout habits, there are none that also give you additional inspiration towards completing those goals. Purrsistent Pet provides this by making the user responsible for their own digital pet, and to care for it the user must make progress towards their goals. We’ve built this application on the fact that it is easier to motivate yourself when your new digital friend is relying on you, too, so please give it a try and improve yourself today!

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Since the year 2000, there have been on average over 400 natural disasters per year affecting rural and metropolitan areas alike. These disasters leave communications networks broken and segmented. The victims are left merely helpless while they wait for assistance and emergency first responders to save their lives. Even after these tragic events, communication services may not be restored for months or even years. This leaves families and individuals vulnerable to further hardship due to lack of supplies. Our solution aims to reconnect disaster victims faster. With our GoKits, families and emergency services will come back online in dramatically less time. A GoKit includes everything you need to connect to our emergency communications network. With this GoKit, users can connect from up to 15km away from our eNAP (Emergency Network Access Point). PEW believes access to communications networks should remain a human right.

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    According to a study done by TouchBistro, sixty-three percent of restaurant goers say that the type of food has the biggest impact on their restaurant choice. Many people that have dietary restrictions or specific eating lifestyles can have difficulty choosing a place to eat that meets their needs. Currently, there are applications that target one specific eating lifestyle, (e.g. vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc.) but none encompass the full spectrum of eating lifestyles a person can follow. The Possibility mobile application is a food finding application that allows users to enter their specific eating lifestyle and view menu options of nearby restaurants that accommodate their needs. The application features tools for reviewing restaurant choices and sharing recipes with other users. Whether a person is looking for vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, gluten-free, or allergy-free options, they will find the best place to eat using the Possibility App.

    Description/Abstract:
    Business communications are becoming more and more demanding as technology continues to advance in our ever-changing world. VOIP communications allow a business to stay connected with a reliable and flexible method of handling their telecommunication needs. However, VOIP must have optimal networking conditions for it to work properly and reliably. We created a solution to allow businesses to stay connected while minimizing any impacts they may have on their everyday communications. Using Dynamic routing we were able to shift network traffic from overloaded VOIP servers in order to keep communications up and running. According to PriceItHere.com VOIP Solutions can cost $20 to $40 per month per user, which can add up fast. We were able to keep costs low by using open-source software. The result is a quick and reliable VOIP solution that can handle large amounts of traffic and keeps client costs low.
