Before graduating from the School of Computing & Engineering, every student is required to complete a Senior Design Project. This culmination of their time at Quinnipiac incorporates real clients and problems and simulates a project that they might encounter the first day on the job.
Projects Day is designed to showcase and celebrate our students’ hard work and achievements from real-world projects completed during the spring semester. Mentored by professionals in the industry, students assemble into design teams, choose topics and bring their ideas to life.
This project's purpose is to create a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for the Nursing Department at Quinnipiac University to use in its simulation labs. An EHR is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history maintained by a healthcare provider. The main goal is to develop a new, improved and more user-friendly version of the university’s current system that fulfills the necessary requirements and enhances its functionality. This is a web-based EHR system that can dynamically handle patient records and live updates and synchronize instructors to student-user accounts across various simulation lab sections.

The goal of this project is to develop a web application featuring two distinct dashboards tailored to Wepco Plastics' supervisors and operators. These dashboards will provide real-time visibility into machine activity on the manufacturing floor and assess machine efficiency, indicating if a machine is operating below or above the quoted cycle time. This product serves as an upgrade to the current Amper Machine Monitoring site, enhancing user experience and accessibility for production supervisors and operators to track current machine activity and efficiency effortlessly.
