The system to be is BMW Performance Horse Database, also referred to as BMWPHD. The client is Brooke Wharton with BMW Quarter Horses. The purpose of her company is to breed and raise horses for reining and reined competitions. Currently this field faces the issue that horse data is spread over multiple different platforms that do not communicate with one another. With that, the main objective of BMWPHD is to create a user-friendly searchable database for the task of finding and ranking horses for breeding, buying, and determining show schedules. The users of this application include fans, riders, coaches, judges, and investors in the sport. The hope is to not only bring more fans to the sport through the easy access to data, but also improve the level of competition so that the horses can be bred stronger and therefore perform at a higher level within the sport. On the technical side, the system will be implemented with the following technologies: the frontend will use Vue.js, the backend will be implemented in Java Spring Boot, the database will be built in PostgreSQL. The final version of the application will be deployed on Heroku.

The Chinese Learning Platform(CPL) is a program to help students to learn the Chinese language. This platform will be used by both students of these ages attempting to learn Chinese as well as by the teachers who will use the platform as a teaching tool to help those students. As it is a teaching tool, the main motivation behind it is educational, with the hope to support students in learning the Chinese language, and in the future, this will be expanded to learning various other languages using the same CPL. The platform hopes to help these students utilize a textbook created by CPL, and will also include features that will help the students listen, read, write, and speak in the language they are learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for families to stay connected, especially those separated by distance. Keepsake is a software product that was developed with the aim of helping families bridge the gap by enabling them to share stories and memories across generations. The platform provides a secure and private space where family members can record and post audio content that can be accessed by their loved ones anytime, anywhere via cloud storage.

Keepsake offers an intuitive user interface that is accessible to users of all ages, making it easy for them to navigate and listen to the audio content. By hosting the platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Keepsake provides a reliable and scalable solution for storing and retrieving audio files/posts across the years. The platform is designed to ensure that each family's audio files are separate and private from other family audio files, offering complete privacy to users.

To get started with Keepsake, users can easily join their families and start recording and uploading audio files. The platform allows for organization and sharing with specific family groups, making it easy to share stories and memories with those who matter most. Keepsake is a powerful tool for connecting families across generations, providing accessibility, convenience, and security for families of all sizes and backgrounds.

Power quality is the compatibility between the voltage that comes out of an electrical outlet and the power load that is being plugged into it. A power load (also known as electrical load) is any electrical device that needs to be plugged into a larger power grid to run, such as televisions and microwaves.
Different devices require different power loads to run at full efficiency and while electrical systems are capable of handling newer power loads, they are currently set to work with older ones as well. This may cause some side effects on power quality in the system. In this project, we investigate how to improve the power quality in the system caused by an inductive older load.

A Faraday cage is an enclosure that shields electromagnetic fields from entering or exiting the cage. While metals with high electrical conductivity are expected to effectively demonstrate the operation of a Faraday cage, preliminary observations of a sealed cast iron cylinder allowing the transmission of Bluetooth signals between a smartphone and wireless earbuds across it suggested the need for further research into electromagnetic wave propagation through closed metal systems. This research utilized Bluetooth connectivity tests through sealed metal cylinders made of cast iron, aluminum, and stainless steel to analyze the working of Faraday cages, explore related material properties, and isolate possible reasons for the conflict in expected behavior when electromagnetic transmission is detected through such cages. The research methods included conducting Bluetooth connectivity tests with different cylinder orientations and analyzing the strength of the transmitted and received Bluetooth signal. The key findings of this study suggest that material properties, spatial orientation, and the strength of the electromagnetic source influence the transmission of electromagnetic waves through sealed metal cylinders. The implications of these findings suggest potential exceptions to a common electromagnetic phenomenon and provide insights for future research.
