Sustaining the Safety of Social Drinking Culture at WPI

The goal of this project was to analyze and improve the safety of social drinking culture at WPI. Through interviews of student leaders and faculty, and a survey of students, the team concluded that social drinking is prevalent at WPI, fraternity parties are generally safer than apartment parties at WPI, and that WPIs good Samaritan policythe Culture of Care Resolutionneeds strengthening and increased awareness. The team developed recommendations and educational material for WPI faculty, event hosts, and event guests

Autonomous Landmine Detection Rover

Major engagements throughout modern history have left unexploded and unmarked anti-personnel landmines, which result in thousands of casualties each year. Current demining detection methods use sensors such as metal detectors or trained animals such as rats. This project mitigates the threat to human life by replacing human operators with an autonomous robotic system. Building upon prior work, a rover was developed which locates and marks anti-personnel landmines in a user-defined location which a separate octocopter drone will later eliminate
