Project EcoBuild: Sustainable Construction Materials
Team Members:
Jessica Lee (Civil Engineering, Class of 2024)
Mark Thompson (Environmental Science, Class of 2023)
Priya Singh (Material Science, Class of 2025)
Project EcoBuild focuses on developing sustainable construction materials using recycled and eco-friendly components. The team has created a new type of concrete made from industrial waste products and natural fibers, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of traditional construction materials.
Jessica Lee: "Our goal is to create construction materials that are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective and durable. By using recycled materials, we can help reduce waste and promote sustainability in the construction industry."
The EcoBuild project has already garnered attention from industry professionals and received a grant from the National Science Foundation to further their research and development.
BioSustain: Innovative Biodegradable Packaging
Team Members:
Sarah Patel (Biology, Class of 2023)
Daniel Kim (Chemistry, Class of 2024)
Emily Martinez (Business, Class of 2023)
BioSustain is an innovative project aimed at creating biodegradable packaging solutions to address the growing problem of plastic waste. The team has developed a new type of packaging material made from plant-based polymers that decompose naturally, reducing environmental pollution.
Sarah Patel: "Plastic waste is a major environmental issue, and we wanted to create a solution that is both practical and sustainable. Our biodegradable packaging can be used in various industries, from food to consumer goods, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics."
The BioSustain team has partnered with several local businesses to pilot their packaging solutions, and they are working on scaling up production to meet increasing demand.
HealthLink: AI-Powered Health Monitoring
Team Members:
