COVID-19

Decision Support System for College Campus Vaccine Allocation and Distribution

Vaccination is considered the main breakthrough in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has restricted many college students from vital in-person instruction, and as the supply of vaccines increases, distributing the vaccines to college students will be a top priority for universities around the world. A decision support system (DSS) was created to assist decision makers at college campuses around the world in order to effectively prevent the spread of infection, reduce COVID-19 mortality, minimize wasted vaccines, and ease restrictions relating to the disease.

Virtual Reality in Engineering Education During COVID-19 and Beyond

Since COVID-19 first shut down schools and universities, students have been struggling to obtain the most out of their education. The current model of conducting lectures and labs through video conferences or pre-recorded meetings does not engage students like meeting in-person would. The research being proposed is distance learning modules that will give students a more engaging and interactive experience than simply watching a video. The goal is to allow students to feel like they are back in the classroom without having to leave the safety of their room. The primary focus will be in augmented or virtual reality solutions as well as the possibility of a design that will give students control over objects and equipment in actual labs again.
