The grand challenge our team recognized was that maintaining good overall health on college campuses is very difficult. Our team’s solution was to make nutritious eating and exercising convenient and easy to for Chapman students via our menu and fitness plan. The menus and fitness plan contributes to society at large because our scientific-based menus
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
On February 11th, 2017, a 44-year-old woman was rushed to the emergency room, experiencing an attack of primarily left-sided paralysis and an inability to speak. This attack was described as an unusual moment of altered consciousness with no immediate resolution. Our project follows the path of this individual’s differential diagnoses, leading to the final diagnosis
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
Our research has focused on trying to find possible properties of dark matter. To do this, we have created a basic simulation of a galaxy from a known NASA database and altered it so that we can input our own variables. The goal of this is to get our simulation as close to the data
Drunk and distracted driving is a problem that is very prevalent in college communities. To combat this, we have created prototypes for an application called Panther Pickup, an app that is intended to prevent drunk and distracted driving in the Chapman community and is a renovated version of Public Safety’s Safe Ride. Through feedback from
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
