- Description:
- Plastic waste, if not disposed of properly, has a major negative effect on the environment. According to our statistics from our survey, we concluded that students are more likely to recycle if given an incentive. As a result, we proposed that California State Polytechnic University Pomona should build a recycling center on campus where students can bring their recyclables and receive a payment in the form of bronco bucks.

- Description:
- This project focuses on spreading awareness about academic stress in high schoolers by educating teachers on ways they can help their students. A survey was created for high schoolers to fill out where they were asked what affects their stress and if they receive help from the school Teachers also completed the survey from the perspective of a student. Results show that the majority of participants rate exams, college applications, pressure, and homework as a significant stressor. Unfortunately, there was an insufficient amount of participants for the survey.

- Description:
- Honey bees are an important asset for our world. Their importance lies in their ability to pollinate many flowers and agricultural products. According to the article, “Can We Disrupt the Sensing of Honey Bees by the Bee Parasite Varroa destructor?”, by Nurit Eliah, in California the bee colonies have decreased by 19 percent in 2019. The decline of bees is due to various problems like the Varroa Mites and habitat loss. In order to help increase the population, we need to have more bee friendly gardens with flowers that last all year long. This would encourage bees to station and pollinate.

- There has been an increase in the usage of PPE amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Personal protective equipment (PPE) pollution has been increasing throughout the upcoming months with no signs of slowing down. As a group, we have observed the ways PPE is being disposed of and have noticed that many people do not discard of their disposable masks properly. As a result, we have come up withmethods to safely dispose of PPE such as disposable masks.

- Cat abundance is likely to vary based on human-ownership patterns, access to food, and veterinary care, avoidance of predators and breeding opportunities” (Flockhart, 2).
“The increasing prevalence of stress, anxiety, and significant mental health concerns among college students—combined with a reduction of college counseling center resources creates a need to develop innovative strategies to help students. Empirical research and practical application of animal-assisted therapy suggests that this is one resources for college counseling centers in meeting the growing demands of services from students” (Kronholz, 2015).

- Description:
- Every year the United States throws away around 80 billion pounds of food, making us the world's second largest producers of food waste. Not only do individuals throw away tons of food, but so do stores and Restaurants. A great way to reduce food waste is composting, so instead of throwing your food a way you are creating soil to give back to the earth or even use to plant your own food, and only about 30% of Americans do this. Our goal is to educate and encourage people to try out composting.

- How can we get every dog to be spayed and neutered at the age of sexual maturity in order to prevent overpopulation in shelters and decrease euthanizations? We conducted a survey on social media to find out what stands in the way of people fixing their dogs. We found out that most people don’t get their dogs fixed because of financial reasons.

- Description:
- COVID-19 has affected our families in numerous amounts of ways. All communities have been affected financially, including those apart of Cal Poly Pomona. A community garden at CPP would be able to provide relief to those who can’t afford fresh foods. In order to achieve academic success students should not have to worry about how they will get fresh food to their tables. We believe families should not be deprived of a necessity because of their financial status.

- Description:
- Our goal was to create a clinic for pet owners to affordably spay and neuter their pets on the Cal Poly Pomona(CPP) campus. Cal Poly already has a clinic that works in conjunction with AHS 3263, a surgical nursing and skills class. We sought out improvements to the clinics financial aspects and advertisement opportunities, in addition to suggestions for the surgical class so both can perform at their best capacity in order to provide superior services and exceptional student skill building.

- Description:
- Water is an essential part of life, especially to humans. However, with an increase in population, a higher demand for fresh, clean water, a global pandemic engulfing the world, and global climate change in the backdrop, water has become an indispensable source for a healthy life. Our goal through this project is to determine the severity of the effects on the availability of water and it's quality (as determined through pH tests, microbial analysis tests, chlorine tests, etc.) and sanitation to our local community as a result of the pandemic. We explore the degree of the effects of the pandemic as well as government action on a local level as well as on different communities. With this mind, we also investigated our local water systems to determine if there were already previous/underlying problems in our water system that might’ve helped contribute to a possible decrease in water quality during these times. Finally, we attempt to conceptualize theoretical ideas that are both realistic and better than current government solutions. As for the pandemic, we explore how water and sanitation are closely tied to one another.

- Description:
- Our research project will focus on providing sufficient energy to rural areas that have little to no energy. Rural areas in Africa are our main target for this project. We will be introducing how to incorporate solar panels to these starving areas. Our main goal is to replace non-renewable energy with renewable energy. During this presentation we will show the benefits on how incorporating renewable energy can help many of the climate change issues such as air pollution, water pollution, landfill, and much more. Building solar panels in these areas really bring a difference. We will also show the cost of solar panels and how much their prices will be reduced by 2030 where many goals are to be achieved by then.

- Description:
- Between the Angeles National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains, the area of field investigation, Thompson Creek Watershed (TCW), is found cutting through Cobal Canyon in Claremont, California. TCW is located about 12 miles north east from Cal Poly Pomona and about 50 miles east from the Pacific Ocean.
The water that flows through TCW ultimately ends in the Thompson Creek Dam, which received 27.43 inches of rain from October 2018 to August 2019. The water is stored in the Thompson Creek Dam before it percolates and recharges the Canyon Basin. Canyon Basin is a part of a larger aquifer, the Six Basins Aquifer, and the Six Basins Aquifer is responsible for providing drinking water to the local surrounding cities such as Claremont, La Verne, Pomona, Upland, and other surrounding cities (Brethorst, Nicholas). Alongside TCW is a popular 5-mile hiking trail, known as “The Loop,” in the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. This area is known of by locals and travelers alike due to its quick escape from the suburban areas. This trail has become an area of recreation and a meeting point for families, friends, including pets. While there is heavy foot traffic, it is not uncommon to see wildlife along the watershed; deer, snakes, rabbits, squirrels, and coyotes are a few examples that can be seen there on any given day.
Despite this water being consumed by local communities, being a part of a recreational area, and being habitat for wildlife, there is little available public information on the quality of this water.

- Description:
- The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 led to a reliance on virtual instruction. The virtual model entails a daily attendance, graded learning and assessments, an emphasis on live instruction, in- person individualized instruction, service, and assessment, and family participation. For this project I created a resource page to assist all families and students for a positive experience through this new model for the Fall of 2020. I created resource videos to support parents with additional activities and provide additional aide for students who have an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), 504, or are in intervention. These videos are located on the resource page and studio page of our learning management tool called Canvas. If a student is absent or if a student needs additional support at home, these videos are accessible to my students and their families. Lastly, the resource page will have guided links of the student’s schedule from Monday-Friday. The purpose of this was to provide students and families who are new to virtual learning and providing an easy transition into a new world of education.

- Description:
- Cognitive science is the intersection of biology, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and computer science that focuses on the study of mental phenomena and its classifications. The nature of the mind has piqued the interest of scientists and philosophers for centuries, but we struggle to understand it because of inherent limitations of phenomenology (i.e., the inability to accurately and informatively self-report cognitive activity). Hence, studying consciousness is a black box problem because we cannot directly study cognition due to its elusive nature. In particular, one familiar cognitive product is perception, which refers to information that has registered in the mind and intangible qualia that manifest within the subjective experience. Judgment, on the other hand, is the subsequent metacognitive construction that consists of the linguistic report of epistemological concepts as a result of perception. Current vernaculars suggest that perception and judgment are interchangeable, however we should make clear distinctions when studying the mind in scientific contexts to make further refinements in cognitive classifications. All in all, cognitive science in the forms of psychological studies, computer modeling, and epistemological literature will have important implications in understanding artificial intelligence and ourselves.

- The problem of the suicide rate in the United States
poses a challenge to the field of health care delivery. At
a time when giant strides are being made in other fields of
medical research, progress has been slow in the understanding
and prevention of suicides. Today it remains stable as the
eleventh leading cause of death since I960.
