    Description/Abstract:
    The spread and unintentional consumption of misinformation has increased drastically in the past decade. The cause of this is not well known. According to a 2019 poll, 67% of Americans believe fake news causes a great deal of confusion, while only 26% percent of Americans feel “very confident” in their ability to recognize fake news. (Watson 2019) To combat this issue, we created SpoofSpotter. SpoofSpotter is a multi-platform application that is taking a proactive approach to combatting the unintentional spread and consumption of misinformation. Users are provided with a wide variety of curated news headlines, in which they will use their skills to determine which of these are not real. Failure to determine the fake news will direct users to a training module that will 1.) Teach them what they got wrong 2.) Teach them how to prevent this from happening in the future. 3.) provide other skills and information regarding dangers surrounding the spread and consumption of illegitimate information. We have successfully developed the core features for our app, allowing users to proactively learn how to spot fake information.

    Description/Abstract:
    Using online voting tools in America is a very controversial and hot topic and has been for about the past 20 years. In our project we tackle this issue by looking into the viability of using online tools to conduct voting in secure and accessible ways. Over the course of the class, we show who would need to use this system, what help they might need to use it, and how it can be conducted as secure or more secure than current voting systems – both public and private. Through work and research, we proved that an online voting system can have the security of modern voting systems with high accessibility while costing a fraction of the current system. This means that with an upgrade of current voting systems the state can both save money and increase accessibility all in one move.

  • iSeeU

    Student Work thumbnail: iSeeU

    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    The current consumer privacy framework in U.S. law is outdated, allowing corporations to invade a user’s privacy using technology without consequence. In 2013 & 2020, the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported this issue to Congress, yet nothing has changed (Cackley 2020). iSeeU plans to change this by demonstrating to the public how powerful technology already is in invading user privacy, specifically facial recognition technology. The choice to focus on facial recognition technology is an intentional one by the authors, as rather than conquer the impossible task of addressing every single technology that can invade a person’s privacy, focusing on facial recognition makes more sense as it is the most unavoidable in the authors’ opinion since it does not require a person to have or use anything. iSeeU uses facial recognition technology to target the user with advertisements based on demographic information determined from the user’s image. iSeeU then explains how no legal controls on this technology prevent it from being abused (Cackley 2020). iSeeU finishes by asking the user to take two specific actions. The first is to bring awareness to the issue by sharing iSeeU with their social networks. The second is to ask the user to contact their congressional representatives to ask for legal controls on this technology, hopefully leading to a much-needed update to the consumer privacy framework in U.S. law.

    Description/Abstract:
    A network of riders and drivers willing to carpool over long distances and share travel costs does not exist. The development of HitchHike started because of this unmet need in the current app market for a rideshare solution that is reliable, affordable, easy to use, and available to everyone. Current options, including the private market and public transportation, leave users underwhelmed with functionality and useability. The development team has integrated an app that is clean and intuitive. Users can post rides that can be used to connect them to various destinations, regardless of the distance. The application's add trip feature allows users to choose their origin and destination, whether they are a rider or a driver. The design features lead from one screen to the next without frustrating the user. Depending on users ' needs, it is easy to search for existing rides or create new rides. By introducing HitchHike into the market, the hope is to connect riders and drivers with common destinations for mutually beneficial travel experiences.

    Description/Abstract:
    Nexum is a web application that gives students a place to communicate and share resources online. According to several studies, a lack of resources and an inability to make friends in class are two of the most prevalent reasons students drop out. Melanie Hanson's study for the Education Data Initiative (2021) found that 13% of students drop out of college due to poor social fit and 3% due to mental/emotional issues. The solution to these problems is to develop a web application that allows students to connect with one another on a website where they can write posts and conduct one-on-one chats with classmates and mentors. This online application would also provide students with a centralized location in which they could find and access all the resources they could need. Nexum will require the development of a database to store all the postings that the students will make as well as the one-on-one chats. Both the data and the website will be hosted on Azure. Finally, Nexum is a platform where students can have private chats and get the resources they need to succeed in their academic courses in a safe and secure environment.

    Description/Abstract:
    Over the past years, we encountered an incident lot of firms did not see the great impact (negatively and positively) it had on their day-to-day transactions. Some percentage of rising or small firms had difficulties accessing work-based resources and data. We came up with a solution to help small businesses solve this issue. Networkado can assist small businesses with network infrastructure and the move to a cloud-based solution. Due to the epidemic, most businesses would require more time to allow remote workers to use cloud services. Using easy methods to give users remote access, Networkado will save time and money while relocating. The main goal of this project is to build a wide-area network with a VoIP system that will allow mobile phones, PCs, and other IP-enabled devices to communicate both inside and outside the company. Because of its adaptability, we chose the agile strategy. Networkado is a step toward protecting organizations and enterprises in a world where information is publicly available due to security breaches and hacking. The network uses public network infrastructure to connect geographically dispersed nodes, allowing numerous off-site or remote workers to access the file server. You may also keep track of your staff using dedicated file servers. This necessitates keeping a watch on the actions of the users. This entails safeguarding critical files and keeping track of all data entering and exiting your company.

    Description/Abstract:
    Significant barriers exist when trying to adopt a pet from a shelter. Adoption agencies lack the resources and tools to share crucial details and important demographics about their animals online. This lack of access and availability inhibits potential adopters from finding and adopting the right pet from an animal rescue shelter in their area. The obstacles adopters and agencies face surrounding digital communication, the growing number of animals in shelters, and adoption requirements emphasize a clear and current need for a solution. Swipet aims to streamline the adoption process by creating a web application that engages users to quickly find the right pet and providing shelters a digital tool to post their pets online. Swipet is a two-sided web application that caters to adopters and shelter organizations. On the adopter-facing portion of the app, Swipet will display animal images, bios, medical history, and other details about the pet to potential adopters in a design that encourages pet adoption. On the shelter/organization side of the app, Swipet will display users with a dashboard interface that handles adoption requests, activity monitoring, and supports animal uploads, updates, or deletions. With this approach, Swipet will eliminate many of the existing barriers between adopters, animals, and shelters. Utilizing emergent front-end frameworks and a reliable backend stack, the team at Swipet has developed a clean and engaging solution.
