An Analysis of TikTok’s Platformization Impact and Social Media Marketing Strategies

After the Covid-19 pandemic, TikTok became a large social media platform influencing the opinions of over a billion users. Sponsored by CloudYo Technology (云哟科 技), the goal of our project was to determine key variables for businesses to prioritize to increase viewership of their content on TikTok. The results from our experiment provided evidence that certain variables had a larger relationship to viewership than others, although each was significant. However, due to oversight and procedural roadblocks, our findings and project better serve as a pilot study for future topic endeavors

Open Source Desktop CNC Mill

This project focuses on the design, manufacture, and testing of an open-source desktop Computer Numerical Control (CNC) mill that provides easy machining access to beginners and hobbyists working on small-scale projects. It prioritizes affordability and manufacturability without the use of pre-existing CNC equipment, while still producing accurate and precise parts. With a working range of 6.75in x 6.5in x 5.25in, the machine has an accuracy of ± .002in and a low base cost under $1,700. The design is open-source for those who wish to build the mill themselves, including a user manual and detailed mechanical and electrical assembly instructions. The machine is accessible to WPI mechanical engineering students through the teaching lab. The project was a success, demonstrated by a number of functional parts made on the mill and an array of accuracy and feed rate tests
