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.
The goal of this project is to develop a software system to aid students of Quinnipiac School of Computing & Engineering (SCE) in writing high qual resume such that it closes the gap between academic coursework and industry expectations. The application allows students to easily generate personalized, highly descriptive resume bullet points based on the specific courses they have completed. Simultaneously, the application provides SCE faculty with an intuitive system to map technical competencies and skills directly from their syllabi.

The goal of this project is to develop an automated inventory tracking and management system for Quinnipiac University Maker Space. Currently, the facility relies on manual methods to track supplies, which can be time-consuming and prone to error. This application utilizes a vision-based object recognition model to automatically detect and record inventory levels. The system includes a web application dashboard, where users can view inventory charts and usage data. By modernizing how materials are monitored, the application is designed to enhance the experience for students and faculty utilizing the Maker Space.
