Our project was to design a laptop with a 3D printed case, with the goals of eliminating manufacturing waste and the need for expensive repairs. Our laptop also allows for complete customization, so that every user can print a laptop that fits all of their needs. One major aspect of our laptop is that it
With technology advancing at an exponential rate, it is likely that virtual reality will soon become a integral part of life simply due to the fact it is applicable in so many areas. The purpose of our research was to perform a synthesis of virtual reality exercise research in order to gain a stronger understanding
Lurking deep on the seafloor lies a rather alien-looking creature: the hagfish. Although the hagfish is indeed a fish, it takes the common long and thin shape one would affiliate with an eel. In fact, the hagfish has a common nickname of the “slime eel” for good reason. When the hagfish is under attack, it
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
To this day, there is no opioid that binds selectively in peripheral tissue. The binding of opioids in central and peripheral tissues is what results in long term addiction. Opioids, such as morphine, bind at physiological and injured pH. Decreasing the pKa of the morphine molecule leads to selective binding in injured tissues only. The
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
Undergraduates on college campuses often experience new or increasing sexual experiences which can increase the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Students experiencing sexual health problems are often faced with multiple concerns regarding obtaining knowledge regarding STDs as well as treatment options. This project aims to easily connect Chapman University students to information concerning sexual
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
In 2017, 348 million metric tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 1,051 Empire State Buildings, of plastic were produced worldwide (PlasticsEurope). The most broad solution to the plastic problem is recycling. In our project, we try to attempt a more profitable and effective solution to help reuse the plastics from the ocean. 3D
Parallax seeks to be a learning experience that combines traditional teaching methods with virtual reality supplements to enhance student understanding of traditionally taught astronomy concepts. Lecture order and content is based upon the California Department of Education’s standards for 8th graders’ knowledge of astronomy. Lectures are followed by virtual reality sessions which aim to grant
