Our group was tasked with finding a novel method to capture greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas production has proliferated alongside industrial development in most countries which has induced detrimental processes concerning our environment, which to this day, is in danger due to the presence of greenhouse gases lingering in the Earth’s atmosphere. Our group now strives
Our goal is to create an efficient system for students to find groups in the Grand Challenges Initiative (GCI) program in the STEM department at Chapman University. GCI suffers from an enrollment problem. The problem arises in the transition from the First Year Focus Course (FFC) of GCI to the Grand Challenges Initiative seminars (SCI)
The challenge that our team sought to resolve is the fact that nurses and other medical practitioners often have to face heavy fees and hurdles in order to gain hands-on experience and education in the classroom through standardized patients. These paid actors can be expensive and limited, and as a result, we decided to develop
Our project, Mellow Fellows, began with the goal of tackling the challenge of mental health issues. We concentrated specifically on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) because of the prevalence and severity of the illness in society today. By creating a relaxing, fun, and simple pet care video game, we hoped to use the positive effects of
Our project combats the outdated interface of my.chapman, which is difficult to navigate and visually unappealing, by redefining the student learning experience that it cultivates. We have made an app that is more user-friendly and aims to make the learning experience unique and more helpful to them based on how they digest information. This takes
A DeepFake is a digitally altered face intended to mimic another person. This technology is advancing rapidly, with the amount of DeepFakes increasing by 84% in 2019. Traditional detection methods that observe artifact and pixel inconsistencies fail to keep up. To combat this issue, our team developed a DeepFake detection software that: analyzes facial data
Our Grand Challenge attempts to tackle the topic of mental health with the use of virtual reality, or VR. There has been a lot of stigma surrounding mental health that resulted in people neglecting their mental wellness due to a lack of information and accessible treatment programs. We have researched aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy
Universities across the United States closed down in the beginning of 2020 due to an outbreak of COVID-19. Universities adapted by developing ranging plans to continue educational instruction, varying between fully online instruction, opening schools completely, or a hybrid combination. It is critical to understand how these ranging policies impacted COVID-19 outcomes across the U.S.
Our grand challenge is to lower traffic accidents by using autonomous vehicles. To achieve this in the scope of our GCI project we created a machine learning algorithm that classifies street signs and pedestrians. This grand challenge contributes to the problem of car accidents. We wrote a machine learning algorithm that is trained to detect
Our group took on the GCI challenge presented by Dean Lyon to find sustainability in a world of ubiquitous computing. We found a number of green approaches to accomplishing this goal and researched the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Analyzing our research we have determined which solutions would be viable options to implement on
