- MCCS Data Analytics DashboardThe Asset Protection business unit under MCCS needs dashboards so they can easily access relevant asset protection information from a single source of information. Currently, Asset Protection has to go to various sources within MCCS if they want shrink information or point of sale details. The goal of our MCCS Data Dashboard is to create a centralized location for all the needs of MCCS data analysts. The product offers multiple pages for both the point-of-sale transactions and consolidated shrink information, as well as customized health check pages with up-to-date metrics for each branch of MCCS that allow for easy access and close monitoring of the data. The data is displayed as a combination of tables, charts, and graphs along with filters and search functionality that allow for deeper insights on the data.
- Torc Robotics: Rain Detection Solution "RainSense AI"Lowe, Alyssa; Holland, Darius; Weaver, Ethan; Andrade, Jason; Samuel, Jonathan; Cho, Minho (2023-12-06)Torc Robotics makes autonomous vehicles, specifically self-driving trucks. As such, they hope to make their vehicles perform as safely and efficiently as possible. This task becomes more difficult when the vehicles are subjected to adverse weather conditions, such as rain. The first step in making these vehicles perform better in rainy conditions is to give the vehicle the ability to determine whether it is currently “raining” or “not raining”. This information could then help in informing the vehicle to adjust its maneuvers based on the presence of rain. The machine learning solution we developed can make highly accurate predictions as to whether there is rain present in the vehicle’s localized environment. “RainSense AI” is an ensemble learning system that takes in data from various sensors already present on the vehicle. Namely, it incorporates image data from the vehicle’s front-facing camera and LiDAR point-cloud data from the vehicle’s two LiDAR sensors. This data is passed into our system, which consists of two main parts: a Convolutional Neural Network that processes the image data, and an Anomaly Detection algorithm that processes the LiDAR data. Each of the two processes can make individual predictions regarding the presence of rain. Our system uses both of these predictions to generate a final prediction as to whether there is currently “rain” or “no rain”. This system can run in real-time, taking in the most current data from the vehicle’s sensors and continuously generating predictions.

- GTA Management SystemWalters III, Albert; Diwan, Aditi; Fotedar, Ajinkya; Davis-Wallace, Liam; Botelho, Carson (2023-12)Our team has developed a full stack application to assist the Virginia Tech CS department in assigning GTAs to courses. Currently, GTAs are assigned manually using spreadsheets and scratch paper, wasting a lot of time and energy. With our solution, GTAs and courses are displayed in a web app, with drag and drop functionality incorporated to allow the user to move GTAs into and between courses. Additionally, our backend calculates some automatic placements based on student data the user can use as a starting point. Our system greatly simplifies the GTA placement process by making the placement easier and faster.
- InclusiveHire - Unbiased Technical Interviewing PlatformTJ Koonce, Parth Ranawat, Ayush Roy, Thomas Stapor, Riddhi Thanki, Srujan Vithalani (2023)We propose InclusiveHire, which is an unbiased technical interviewing platform. It is a system that maintains the basic functionality of other industry standard video calling tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams with added functionalities to maintain candidate anonymity to the person giving the interview. We protect the candidates identity by modulating the voice to the interviewer as well as preventing the interviewer from seeing the candidate through their camera. The candidate is able to hear the interviewer in their normal speaking tone as well as share their screen to perform any technical activities required by the interview. Our goal with this system was to address hiring biases that may occur when the interviewer could potentially make a biased decision based on the physical appearance and sound of the candidate.
- HokieXChen, Guankai; Guo, Xiao; Wang, Muyang; Chen, Youwei; Chen, Kaiyi; Asher, Tim (2023-12)HokieX is an online thrift shop designed specifically for Virginia Tech students, faculty, and the surrounding community. It is novel compared to other similar platforms like Facebook Marketplace as it includes verification for VT affiliates, including students and faculty. With this feature, our application will have reduced numbers of scammers and scalpers compared to competitors. However, this feature does not exclude people who are not affiliated with VT: Blacksburg residents and others in the surrounding community can also sign up and use the application. Its local focus also lends itself to Blacksburg and VT as there is a strong sense of community in this area. This means that, although those with malicious intentions could still gain access to the system, the community will reject them using the report system and keep the platform safe organically.

- Monitoring Student Data Analytics Associated with Interacting in a Open EdX CourseRavi, Harish; Perez Lozano, Joan; Kim, Jong Heon; Rahimi bafrani, Raena (2023-05-01)The Boeing Company, an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide, has recently announced a technology research project called Asynchronous Learning Experience Ideas for Boeing. In this project, they are looking for a group of software engineers to develop code to monitor student data analytics associated with interacting in an OpenEdX course as a part of a technology research project called Asynchronous Learning Experience Ideas for Boeing. The analytics could have various degrees of utility for various stakeholders at Boeing. Technical Stakeholders might want to know about system metrics relevant to ensure operational excellence, ensuring infrastructure stability, real-time monitoring of system performance, etc. The non-technical stakeholders might be interested in knowing about the accessibility of systems, the utility of the courses towards a learning objective among other things. Thus we would like to design systems that allow a data scientist to derive insights of interest from the Open EdX ecosystem. The purpose of the system is to monitor and analyze student data analytics associated with interacting in an OpenEdX course. The system aims to collect and analyze data on student interactions with courses, quizzes, and videos, and generate visualizations and reports that can be used to derive insights into the learning effectiveness of the courses, as well as the system's performance and stability. The ultimate goal of the system is to demonstrate the capability of using OpenEdX as an alternative to CANVAS for a learning platform and to allow data scientists to derive insights of interest from the OpenEdX ecosystem. This observability system aims to provide valuable insights into the performance, reliability, and accessibility of the system, allowing for proactive identification and resolution of issues and improving overall system health and availability, as well as providing actionable insights into the utility of the courses towards a learning objective. The design goals of the system are including but not limited to gathering log data as the students interface with the Open Edx, providing real-time monitoring of student progress and performance and performing advanced data analytics. Ultimately, the design goals of the system is to provide comprehensive insights into student learning and engagement, while leveraging the existing capabilities of the Open edX platform.
