Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to develop PyraMax Ceramics’ shipping facility including an onsite shipping building, dedicated rail spur, employee parking lot, and associated required site development and stormwater management. This project is important to PyraMax Ceramics because it will improve and streamline PyraMax Ceramics’ shipping and will provide additional employee parking, which in turn will improve the facility’s efficiency and allow for further expansion and increased production. This project also benefits the community through the positive economic impact of the construction work and the increased workforce at this facility.

Project Overview: On August 21^st, 2021, intense flooding took place in, including but not limited to, Humphreys County, Tennessee that damaged local infrastructure. In particular, the concrete bridge carrying Trace Creek Road over Trace Creek sustained significant damage.  The reason for the failure was due to erosion of sediment between the ground and the structures that was supporting the bridge. Due to these events, the bridge was deemed to be damaged beyond repair and would require the construction of a new bridge to take its place.  The purpose of this project is to design a bridge that will replace the failed bridge.

Project Overview: The industrial zone along Motivation Drive is in the process of planning a future expansion that will introduce increased heavy vehicle traffic. The client, The City of Lawrenceburg, is requesting that the Tennessee Department of Transportation provide safe and reliable access for this expanding industrial district. The project is important to the community due to it providing an alternative route for heavy vehicle traffic. This will prevent heavy vehicles from using other collector roadways. This project will provide adequate access from Motivation Drive to State Route 242 for existing and future industrial businesses.

Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to design an airfield development for a Fixed Base Operations site at an existing airport located in Warren County, TN. The project describes the need for a set of hangars to provide commercial development for a  Fixed Based Operator (FBO). Airport hangar limitations limit the community by displaying the need for expansion and a new site would provide an opportunity for growth.

The community surrounding the airport will be provided with access to new opportunities brought by the FBO. These opportunities can include educational growth and social factors. If the FBO is a flight instruction school, the educational and social factors will be increased, as it is now a place for the community to go and interact with the airport to gain knowledge and create a space for the interactions between the frequent visitors.

Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to address the first phase of civil site design by developing construction documents and associated design calculations for the proposed church buildings and site improvements.  The requested scope of work for the project is to add two new buildings and an athletic field to the site provided. This includes plans for the site layout, grading and drainage, retaining wall, utilities, stormwater and water quality, and SWPPP. The importance of this project is to provide the client with a new location and to provide community access to a third space location.

Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to design a new realignment of Tridon Drive in Smyrna, Tennessee, including a new bridge over Olive Branch creek, to meet environmental standards while maintaining access to both lanes of traffic and establishments within the construction area throughout the construction of the project.  This project is important to the Town of Smyrna, hereafter TOS, as it is replacing a bridge that is out-of-date regarding handling present loads of traffic and design standards.  This project is important to the community because it provides truckers going to and from the industrial park with an alternate route over the bridge.

Project Overview: The purpose of this project is to make improvements to the junction of United States Route 64 (State Route 40) and State Route 314 located in Polk County, Tennessee next to the Ocoee River.  The roadway currently supports a capacity of approximately 5,000 vehicles per day in this area with trucks accounting for approximately 9%. The 2042 projected traffic quantity for this roadway is approximately 6,100 vehicles per day. To support the predicted increase in traffic the project plan is to widen the existing road (United States Route 64) to 3 lanes, construct a shared-use path along the corridor, make intersection improvements – including Tennessee Valley Authority driveway modifications – and construct three retaining walls, one on the north side and two along the south side of United

Project Overview: This project aims to collect and manage real-time data from an RTAC server that simulates the performance of a super battery. The data gathered includes key measurements such as voltage, current, active power, reactive power, frequency, state of charge, and time. Once the data is pulled from the server, it will be sent to an Azure Cloud database for secure storage and management. From there, the data will be accessible through a website, where users can log in securely to view the battery's performance. The website will present the data using user-friendly graphs and charts to make it easy to understand. Additionally, users can export the data in various formats, including CSV files, for further analysis or reporting. This project combines data collection, cloud integration, and web development to provide a complete solution for monitoring and visualizing battery performance.

Project Overview: Our project is the Digital ID project.  Our members are Rachel Peters, Jacob Sensing, Joeseph Jackson, Patrick McCloud, Connor McWhorter, Matthew Burst, and Will Cooper. We are working on integrating blockchain credentialing with universities by working on onboarding mechanisms and a mobile identification wallet. This allows current and former students to be able to share verified credentials and diplomas across multiple parties with one profile. The credentials associated with the user can also be viewed and managed by them.

Project Overview: The project is comprised of a webpage that is designed to track the water quality of waterways in the state of Tennessee. The front end of the website is written in HTML/CSS, while the back end is written in JavaScript, with the data being held in a PostgreSQL database with the website hosted using Nginx. The pages for the website include a landing page with a slideshow carousel showing different rivers in Tennessee, an about page that redirects to the TDEC Nutrient Management page, a tracking and data page that displays the aforementioned hosted data in multiple graphs with an option to view by year, and a page displaying all sponsors associated with the 2021-23 Tennessee Nutrient Strategy Taskforce Triennial Report.

Project Overview: Stonecom Radio hosts the Gallaher Huffines Community Room, giving government, educational, community, and non-profit organizations a place to host events. The current room reservation workflow consists of manual interactions between Stonecom and the event organizers.

Our team (Fawaz Alkharaa, Chloe Braswell, Landon Crabtree, Kaleigh Hooper, Brendan Jackson, and Nicholas McCloud), as part of Tennessee Tech’s CSC4615 class (instructed by Eric Brown) was tasked with streamlining the room reservation process by automating the redundant parts of the booking process, such as an online booking form; electronic signatures for the room agreement form; reminder emails; exit surveys; and integrated Calendar support via Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.
