Preventing Heart Disease With Machine Learning
Our challenge was to develop a predictive model to assess an individual’s potential risk of heart disease based on biometric data. Full poster: HeartDiseaseMachineLearning
Access to Disability Services at Chapman University
Our group focused on the disabilities services at Chapman University and how they support and help their students with disabilities. We conducted interviews and surveys to learn more about how students with disabilities are represented at Chapman. We also learned about what ways and learning environments are best for students with disabilities. View the full
Tech Literacy for the Elderly
Technology is evolving at a rapid pace such that many, especially older adults, cannot keep up. Though these changes create a positive impact on several areas and industries, the lack of learning can generate a gap in technological literacy and knowledge. This can be most commonly found in devices like phones. This project attempts to
3D Printed Smiles: Changing Dental Abutments with PETG, PLA, T-Glaze Prints
Test a cheaper alternative to dental implants that can be made using easily accessible materials like plastics. These abutments can be made with 3D-printed material to reduce cost and increase accessibility to low-income patients. View the full poster here
Interactive Air Quality Monitoring at Chapman University
Our goal was to test the likelihood of high temporal variation in air quality in Chapman University campus. Our data showed that high peaks are transient but can potentially impact health of some people. The results serve as a proof of concept for the need of a high spatial and temporal resolution monitoring network at
A Soap to Combat the Rise of Superbugs
Superbugs, or microorganisms that have become resistant to antibiotic treatments, have developed in recent years due to the misuse of antibiotics (Tosh, 2022). The misuse of antibiotics most commonly refers to instances in which patients either use them inappropriately for minor infections or fail to complete their antibiotic regimens (Tosh, 2022). To combat this global
Sewage Drain Water Filter: Protecting the ocean at the source of the issue
We created a filtration system to combat the challenge of plastic pollution in the ocean. The increase of plastic pollution has taken a toll on the environment, specifically the ocean and its wildlife. The United States alone has produced over 40 million metric tons of plastic per year. With minimal policies in place to reduce
Soil Moisture Remote Sensor
Water wastage poses a significant challenge to our environment and stands as a leading contributor to climate change. A considerable amount of water is wasted daily in industries such as agriculture and landscaping, primarily due to insufficient information and suboptimal water management practices. To address this issue, we aimed to developed a comprehensive solution aimed
Improving Grafting in Bean Plants
Grafting plants can bring beneficial traits without the need for genetic engineering. The procedure of legume grafting as well as the viability of soybean on bush bean grafts was tested. A cleft graft was used in each experiment with the variables being clipped leaves, shade, and aloe vera. Clipping leaves and applying shade was most
Finally. Smart Energy. For a Smart Home.
Initially beginning with wind energy, our team successfully created a residential wind turbine that could efficiently charge and maintain small household electronics & appliances. We soon realized we coudldn’t stop there. Wind energy was efficient, just not efficient enough for what we set out to do. We began to develop the Switch 1.0, a basic
