Company Sponsors

Some of our fall 2023 company sponsors for capstone projects included:

Projects

Intellifloat in the pond at Aggie Park under a setting sun behind Kyle Field.

IntelliFloat

IntelliFloat is a smart buoy equipped to gather a diverse range of environmental data, transmit all data collected either via satellite or Wi-Fi connectivity through AWS, and display data on a dashboard. The device has a self-powering power system utilizing solar energy. Research Area: Electronic Design Automation and VLSI.

An analytics dashboard including 3 graphs which provide meaning to a software development team’s efficiency for a Github repository.

PR Tracker Backstage Plugins

Backstage is an open-source platform for developers to build developer portals, house plugins, tools, and services to facilitate development, deployment, and monitoring of high-quality code all in one place. The project involved creating a plugin, that uses Backstage to track pull requests from Github. Research area: Software engineering.

The GyroCube device, showing both the external and internal view

Gyrocube

GyroCube is a device consisting of 3D printed frames housing three motors, microcontrollers, and battery, connected to aluminum wheels. The team programmed the cube to autonomously flip. A website was developed to display a 3D model of the cube and its orientation. Research area: Robotics.

Picture of a mother kissing a baby's cheek, promoting getting started with ‘PageOne’ with tag line "Your personal digital pregnancy notebook."

PageOne

The project involved developing ‘PageOne,’ a health related bioinformatics website with database backend, which provides a secure and user-friendly digital space for under-served pregnant women to store and manage their medical data (in a given Plan of Safe Care document) during pregnancy. Research area: Health.

A labeled diagram with a green banner at the top and bottom, displaying the various parts and views (top, bottom, left, right) of a helicopter. Facts about the helicopter, like its dimensions and volume, are in a grey column on the right.

BRL-CAD 1-Page Summary Reports for 3D Geometry

The project developed an open-source solution to visually summarize and validate a 3D geometry model through a one-page report generator that included images, properties, automatic layout, dimensions, and metadata. Research area: Graphics, Visualization, and Computational Fabrication.

High-level overview of the application flow, starting with a user entering a prompt after which the LLM (GPT 4) will send a relevant response back.

Data engineering for GPT

The project involved refining a process to make LLMs aware of private data. An embedding model was used to generate vector representations of the text, inserted into a vector database. The embeddings for the user prompt will be generated and used to retrieve semantically similar results. Research area: Databases, Data Mining, Information Retrieval Systems.

Classification of cars driving, as either stopped or moving.

Vehicle Tracking Web App

The project involves the development of an application to monitor parking lot usage, which involved gathering statistics including, average parking time of each car, speeding cars, or illegally parked cars. The approach involved a computer vision pipeline, monitoring dashboard displaying the current status of vehicles and more. Research area: AI, ML, NLP; Computer Vision.
