Our graduates have an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset, as well as relationships that are invaluable to developing innovative and impactful solutions to today's problems.
To create a device which can monitor network traffic, ie packet sniff, networks from a concealed location. This allows cybersecurity analysts to better perform their job as others in excersises will not be able to screen peak and thus patch vulnerabilities before their exploited. Our microcomputer has a 2 buisness day lifespan on mobile battery pack, a full desktop interface and makes no noise. Additionally, it can be hidden in bags, in drawers, or use our example fake book safe.

In todays information age, cybercrime is more rampant than ever, yet companies often find their employees lacking the necessary skills to defend against it. This is due to ineffective and outdated cybersecurity training an issue that plagues IT departments across the world. A new style of training, one that is more engaging, is needed to ensure employees can protect themselves and their organizations against the threats of today. Our proposed solution works to solve this demand. Our new training software contains learning segments comprised of three main components: learning content, simulation activity, and real-world example. Through presenting these components in a gamified format, the software encourages the user to remain actively engaged with the training content. Gamification has been proven to increase user engagement by up to 48%. With an increase in user engagement, its believed increased retention of the learning material will follow. Additionally, the software will continually reinforce the importance of the content. Development of the software is currently in progress. Once completed, tests will be done comparing the software to traditional training programs to determine if the solution is an improvement in terms of engagement and retention and, if so, by what percentage. These tests will involve users partaking in both and completing surveys and tests based on the content and their experience with the training format. The expectation is that it will be enough of an improvement to warrant IT departments to switch to our solution.

The Carpacity project aims to tackle the common issue of finding parking on campus, which affects both students and faculty, especially during peak hours. This challenge often leads to traffic congestion and frustration due to high demand for parking spaces. Carpacity employs open-source software to monitor and analyze traffic within parking lots, using camera feeds to track the entrance and exits. This data helps determine real-time parking lot occupancy, enabling students to find parking more efficiently and allowing Parking Services to obtain valuable metrics for decision-making and resource allocation. Through heatmapping, the system can indicate the popularity of specific lots, aiding in better management of parking resources. Currently, Carpacity successfully monitors traffic flows and calculates the real-time capacity of parking lots, demonstrating the potential of image detection technology to enhance the parking search process and improve overall campus life.
