Eliminating drunk, drugged, and distracted driving is a serious challenge that the world has yet to solve. We thought it best to approach this challenge from a technological direction. We built a self-driving car that receives a camera feed, reroutes it to a stronger server, and sends instructions back to the car. This method of
Ocean acidification is currently a major issue because of the damages it causes on the ocean’s ecosystem beginning with coral bleaching. In some past research, aquatic plants have demonstrated the ability to increase pH of surrounding water through carbon fixation and photosynthesis. With these ideas in mind, a series of tank experiments were created for
The purpose of our project is to focus on portability and cost efficiency by creating a 3D printed water filter apparatus that is portable, efficient and utilizes the combination of size exclusion and activated carbon filtration. 3D_Printed_Water_Filter
Our goal is to create the most viable and cost-efficient permeable concrete. We want to make permeable concrete an alternative to combatting flash floods and other natural disasters. Using scientific journals, we have studied other scientists’ research of permeable concrete and applied it to our experiment. Permeable Concrete for Urban Runoff
In August of 2019, our group began a two semester project to address the grand challenge of the global water crisis, more specifically the issue that many face with accessing clean water. With the help of Dr. Harrison, the group focussed on testing 3D printed water filters with various filtrants. At the end of the
Our project estimated the carbon emission changes for computer usage for the online vs. in-person semesters. Online Instruction and Carbon Emissions
We decided to tackle the grand challenge of finding significant renewable energy sources. Our project is a linear generator that absorbs the power of ocean waves. We created a prototype and experimental and theoretical energy outputs from this prototype. Wave Ahead of the Energy Crisis
The topic is ways to reduce household food waste. One method was to covert used cooking oil into soap. The soap was projected to kill 50+% of bacteria. Food Waste
Our goal is to investigate microplastics in the ocean and the bioaccumulation in marine life because there are unknown consequences of plastic degradation. Ghost Shrimp and Polystyrene
Our team’s grand challenge is investigating and comparing indoor and outdoor air quality in reference to particulate matter. Since PM particles are microscopic, they can be easily inhaled and can cause severe respiratory problems and heart malfunctions that can lead to death. Consequently, we decided to collect and analyze the air quality present and surrounding
